At least to some significant extent? I'll define "cure" as a 5 year survival rate.

I am in remission for 18 months, my expected return rate is 85%, they can be wrong, they say you are cured, if you can go 10 years without it comming back, but that doesnt always work either, they all seem to be different, cancers act differently in different people, being positive and doing what you are supposed to, helps a great deal.
I plan on being here for alot longer than 5 years

A lot of breast cancers can be cured these days. Early detection and treatment can up the survival rate.

If its detected in the early stages then the survival rate is very hight. Yeah breast cancer is cureable these days in your words BUT the patients have to go through lots of chemotherapy sessions. Its terrible......... !
Secondly if the cancer is detected in the earlier stages, then there are various breathing techniques in YOGA which can cure cancer completely.
Need more info on Yoga, write back with your pics

It depends on how early it is detected. That's why breast exams and mammograms are so important. Catch it early enough and you have an excellent chance of survival.

Cancer is ruthless and opportunistic. Never get complacent when it comes to cancer. However, if your treatment is early enough, you have a very good chance today. It is not 100 percent and it never will be, but it's starting to get close.

I would like to think so, but you have to keep in mind that it could come back 10 years from now, like someone I know. That is my biggest fear, that years from now I am too comfortable and BAM! It's back. What will be will be I guess.

It depends on early diagnosis, type of cancer and health and age of the patient.

If detected early enough, I think most cases can be cured.
