Can any woman help me regarding breast cancer

Can any woman help me regarding breast cancer ?
My life long best friend just told me she has breast cancer and I am so worried. She ignored a lump for several years and this week finally got a mammogram and a ultrasound and a biopsy which confirmed it cancer. She says she can feel it and its 3 to 4 cms.. They told her to come in monday for an mri.. She is only 36 and what concerns me is that she had this lump for so long and never told anyone, Why the mri and does she still have a good chance it hasn't spread?

They will be able to see any other tumors by the MRI. If the cancer hasn't spread (they will probably do a lymph node dissection as well) she has a chance. They can either remove the lump-if she only has one. Or they can remove the breast, and then do reconstruction surgery.

well im not a woman but i can tell you a few things. Mammograms are taken with x-rays and an mri uses magnets. the reason for the mri is that it differentiates between soft tissues much better than the x-rays froma mammogram could. also the mri will help with localizatiojn opf the mass, since it has the ability to show images in 3d. and as for the spreading im not a doctor so i cant tell you in good confidence
