Have Breast Cancer. Have Lump Under Arm, Pain In Left Body, Leg Pain. How Long To Live?
Hi,
My younger sister was just told that she has breast cancer. The lump that she has is huge. My parents and finally conviced her to go to the Doctor. He was shocked at what he saw. They also found a lump under her arm. The whole left side of her body is hurting her. Mostly her left leg. From what I have read so far this is about as bad as it gets. My husband and I will be rising her two teenage daughters. I don't want to go to her Appointment on Tuesday unpreaired or with fausle hope . If this is the end how long do you usually have in a case like hers?

Hi and welcome to Healthcare magic.Thank you for the query.
it is hard to predict the prognosis without more detailed documentation,but you are right. all this is not good signs and tough times of fighting,chemotherapy and surgery are waiting for her. If this is spread as we surmise,then the average ifetime is 12-24 months. But as i said,it is very hard to predict anything.
Wish you good health. Regards
