My friend just found out that she has breast cancer in her right breast but three different lump types of cancer in one breast, and it has effected her lymph nodes at least two of them. What are her chances and what stage cancer would that be? She is going to be having a mascetomy and chemo.

I am not sure what you mean in lump types.
It is very common for cancer to spread to lymph nodes. Especially in the breast tissue. Lymph nodes are usually extracted during the mascetomy and if cancer is present, radiation and/or chemo is also a common practice.
Basically, Chemo kills off all cells. Good and bad. The person usually feels really tired and horribly sick. Their immune system ( the system that protects from disease and virus) is severly depressed. People with colds or infections should say away from her. She will not have a defense system to fight off the simplest cold.
Just be there for your friend, let her know that you are there for her, But at the same time keep your distance if she needs time to morn her loss.
Please dont ever say you know how she feels, because unless you have been through it, you dont.
Also, sometimes the best communications is to be silent. Allow your friend to talk, just comfort her.
I hope all works out for her and I will keep her in my prayers

It simply means that the cancer isn't just located in her breast. It has spread through the blood stream and affected other areas. This is what makes cancer so deadly.

if you are serious about a battle with cancer.... i will tell you what saved my girlfriends life, even after the doctor told her to home and prepare to die because they could do nothing for her. You see chemotherapy is an indiscriminant killer, yes it attacks cancer, but it also attacks your immune system too (just like AIDS). But there was a natural remedy lori took for a two month duration, and after not having faith in this remedy, we prepared for a funeral, her family stood by, and...... well matters took a total turn. Let me just say she is now BACK to work, with a MUCH healthier immune system as well, and when they did the tests for cancer on her, they had to re do the tests because they thought something MALFUNCTIONED. They could find NO cancer AT ALL.
This is not a drug, but a NATURAL REMEDY so i am not making claims or saying that this cures cancer or anything, not at all. But if this product has helped with her, and my sweetheart is alive, so that is enough to for me to dedicatemy life to make sure that other people with terminal illness such as these at least KNOW about this product. I have seen it help too many people to keep silent about it anymore. Besides there are no drug related side effects either. She called a 800# below. there is a brief message for about 4 minutes, after the message (or press # key if you cant wait) give them a contact number or an address and they will send you free information with no obligation. They will also send you copies of INDEPENDENT research studies that drug companies are trying hard to keep the public from knowing. THIS STUFF WORKS, IT SAVED THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!!! MY GOODNESS, THIS WAS THE ANSWER TO MY PRAYERS

Tell your friend to get a second opinion before doing anything,
For sore breasts, put castor oil on them.
Alot of breast cancer test are a money racket.
