I had just found out my 47 year old mom has breast cancer, she has just been diagnosed the other day, and they found it relatively early. I don't know exactly how long she has had it for yet. It has not spread in the lymph nodes or any other parts beside her breast. How long would you say she has to live?

it not a very fast killing cancer, probably just need a breast removed
2 :
Possibly decades. If they caught it early and she gets it treated and no lymph nodes are involved she could live 20-30 years or more.
3 :
i know people who have been diagnosed early and have had full recovery goodluck to her
4 :
Since they found it so early there is a great chance that they will remove it and she will go on to live a normal life. :)
5 :
She could live as long as any of us.

It would depend on if any treatments help her. What type of cancer she has and what her health is like. People here ask these questions that are impossible to answer. There are so many variables that this would be impossible to even guess at.

Wow - calm down! This is a huge shock to hear this, cancer can be unpredictable but breast cancer caught early is one of the most treatable forms of cancer. If it has not spread they may do a lumpectomy (taking out just the tumour) or a breast removal in tandem with radiation and drug therapy. It sounds very much like they have got it early and your moms chances are exceptionally good. I think you will have your mom with you for a while yet. I have 3 women in my family who have had..and recovered from..breast cancer. Be supportive of your mom and I wish you both all the best as she goes through treatment xx

You can live as long as anyone who never had cancer. The fact that they caught it early is great news! Nutrition is extremely important for her recovery, please encourage her to eat lots of fresh organic fruits and veggies. No more junk food! I also believe that homeopathic medicine can help reverse cancer. Best wishes for a prompt recovery to your mother

Think positively. I've seen so many cases where cancer was completely. She has been detected in early stage, you can start treatment immediately. There are also some other alternative solutions which can be followed along with professional treatment like Ganoderma Mushroom based supplements. No one can predict life because its life and is very intricate. Positive thinking and positive approach aren't just theoretical words but have a proven practical inference.

There are no guarantees with breast cancer, and nobody can answer your question. But as the cancer has been caught early and has not spread to her lymph nodes, the outlook is good. While nobody can promise you anything, many people who have had breast cancer live long and healthy lives without being troubled by it again. The longest someone who I know personally has survived is 17 years - so far. I was diagnosed 5 years ago with an advanced aggressive breast cancer that had spread to 13 lymph nodes. Following treatment I'm fit and well with no evidence of cancer at my most recent check-up. I don't know why your question is attracting recommendations for alternative therapies; please bear in mind that none of these has been proven to treat anything - homeopathy certainly can't reverse cancer!

Her chances of 100% cure are extremely high. Try not to worry.

If it has not spread , her chances are fantastic. As soon as they remove it they will give good follow up care and she will be back to feeling good. I wish all the best to you and the family
