What Are The Survival Chances For Mastitis Carcinomatosa?
I am 73 years old had a breast amputation waiting for chemo and have the most aggressive cancer one can have mastitis carcinomatosa. After breast amputation still bad cells are found however the rest off the body seems clean. What are my survival chances with this kind off cancer ?

Since the rest of the body is clean you perhaps have stage 3 or 2 breast cancer. You need chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Hormonal therapy depends on ER, PR status. You have good chances of survival if ER, PR is positive. Survival depends on many factors. More than 50% five year survival for other stages apart from stage 4
