Answer 2

Everyone is different and nobody knows what the future holds....cancer is so unpredictable!
My Mum had breast cancer 6 years ago and had a mastectomy and her lymph glands removed (they were clear). Two years later the cancer returned to the chest wall and she had 6 weeks of radiotherapy.The two years ago she had a pain in her chest and the cancer had moved to her lungs. This time she had chemotherapy. She has always responded well to treatment and went into remission. Then last Friday she was told that the cancer has gone to her brain (discovered as a result of memory loss and muscle weakness down one side of her body). She has been offered radiotherapy and is taking steroids. We don't really know the prognosis this time. My Mum is a fighter and has always had a positive attitude to her treatment which has helped her get this far! Its very hard to keep strong though.
I know of a few people who have had breast cancer......one was in remission for 10 years before it returned, I know a few who have had early signs and had lumpectomies and nothing more.
It depends on the individual and the type of cancer they have.

Answer 3

The survival rate for breast cancer is rising all the time. With careful screening of women known to be at a higher risk, newer, improved drugs, radiotherapy and chemotherapy it is increasingly common for breast cancer patients to be given the all clear after five years. Obviously this depends on how early the disease is diagnosed in the first place.

Answer 4

A friend of ours had breast cancer 15 years ago, she had a full mastectomy and then had reconstructive surgery and lives a full and happy life to this day, my mom died of breast cancer almost 8 years ago, she couldn't get tamoxifen because of postcode lottery and she just couldn't cope with the chemotherapy anymore it was making her far too sick so she gave it up, I wish she had fought, but who am I to judge, I don't know what it was like for her or what her pain really felt like, some women live for years and years after having breast cancer and good on them its fantastic and medication is a lot better today too.

Answer 5

Cancer is an observable pattern of abnormal cellular division. These cancer cells will manifest themselves as malignant tumors and begin impinging on glands and organs, eventaully causing death.

So, the goal of any cancer treatment is to get the cells to stop dividing. Chemotherapy, for example, attempts to do this by seeking out and destroying any and all fast-dividing cells cells. This includes cancer cells, of course, but unfortunately, other fast-growing cells such as hair follicles, and blood cells necessary for proper immune system function are compromised as well.

There are many alternative cancer therapies available, although most are not recognized by Western medicine as legitimate. These therapies focus on whole-body detoxification, and building the immune system up to a point where it is able to completely overcome the disease. People who follow the Western medicine's routine of slash/burn/poison (surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy), will never be fully cured of cancer; they will be in what is known as remission, a time period in which the cells are no longer dividing abnormally. Remission can last for a long time, but if the entire body is not fully cleansed, the disease will return in due time.

The only way to completely and fully overcome cancer is to eliminate the virus from every cell of the body.

Answer 6

There are several types of breast cancer, not just one. It really depends on what the type is as to how treatable it is. Some cancers are dealt with very easily by a lumpectomy (removal of lump) and perhaps some follow up radiotherapy. Other types require chemo, massive surgery and radiotherapy.
So to answer your question...No, cancer is not necessarily a death sentence and many people survive it and live full lives.

Answer 7

some people recover, others dont. some forms of breast cancer is totally curable. if the cancer is too far spread, chances are they will die of it (unfortunately). my friends mum had cancer and they cut it away, it came back and the 2nd time around it was completely cut away. thats the evil of cancer, it can come back anytime. awful eh?

Answer 8

i have a female friend who had breats cancer 5 or 6 years ago. she was treated, and had a partial mastectomy. She is in complete remission. It is unlikely she will die from it, now or in the future

Answer 9

Everyone is different, breast cancer can be overcome,i know a woman who had it years ago and she's the fittest person i know.It does not always end in tragedy,Good Luck

Answer 10

it does not mean they are going to die,depends on the grade of the cancer and weather it has reached the glands or not..every situation is different and your treatment is taylored around you..more women are surving caner these days through earlier diagnoses..it can only get better..a cure for caner would be good..but now they are being caught early..this is great news.
