What Are The Chances Of Survival For A Breast Cancer Patient?
My friend has been diagnoised with Stage 4 aggressive breast cancer. It is in the lymphnodes and she also has lymphedema from the removal of lymphnodes. She had a full masectomey in November 2010. She had breast cancer in her left breast 6 years ago and now it was in her right breast. What are her chances of survival? She has undergone 6 aggressive chemo treatments and is now doing 5 days a week for 7 weeks radiation.
