Really good now days.

It all depends on What type of Breast Cancer, Which Stage, and which Treatment. There are a number of answers to your question.
5 :
With Todays technology and what they know now about breast cancer her chances of survival are high. I am 53 & a breast cancer survivor. It would help if you say what type of breast cancer she was diagnosed with.
6 :
Overall, the chances are fairly good, but nobody can guess further without knowing a lot more, especially the type of breast cancer, and also the stage and grade of it. The higher the stage and grade, the more likely the cancer has spread beyond the breast.
7 :
As someone who survived stage III breast cancer diagnosed at age 46, I promise she has excellent prognosis. The next 6 months will be pretty crap, and she may feel so bad at times that she will wonder if she wants to put herself through this, but at the end of her treatment there is a very good chance her life will return to normal. Be as much help as you can until she gets back to her old self again.

It depends on many factors, such as: - stage of breast cancer she has - type of cancer she has: invasive or not - her treatment (chemo/surgery/radiation), whether treatment is successful/not - her life style She needs to eat healthy food, get enough rest & always positive thinking It's also important for her to eat multivitamins and herbs to boost her immune system and recover quickly.
