What are the chances of my mom surving breast cancer

What are the chances of my mom surving breast cancer?
My mom is between 50 - 55 years of age. She was diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer. She had the surgery, they found nothing wrong in her lymph nodes, & now she has to do chemo (causing her to lose her hair) for 12 weeks, and do radiation. What are her survival chances?? PLEASE HELP ME! :,(

just found these stats Here are some statistics on the breast cancer survival rate. Stage 0: 100% Stage I:100% - Stage IIA: 92% - Stage IIB:81% - Stage IIIA:67% - Stage IIIB:54% and a stage IV breast cancer survivor is still at 20% It looks like they have found it really early, so she can get all the treatment she needs. If you are really worried, have a chat with your mum and I am sure she will put your mind at rest. She will expect you to have questions and be scared so go and talk to her..

stage 1 is early breast cancer and ur mom is pretty young..When you reach Stage 1, the tumor has already grown about 2 cm long and it is already considered invasive. However stage 0 and stage 1 breast cancers have 100 % cure rates.. u r lucky she was diagnosed and is being treated at such an early stage.. For breast cancers less than 2cm across, with no cancer in the lymph nodes and either low or intermediate grade (grade 1 or 2),as is the case with ur mother between 8 and 9 out of every 10 women (80 to 90%) will live for at least 10 years after diagnosis. the 5 yr survival rate is 100 %.. what is important is that she goes for regular check ups after having been declared cured to eliminate the cance of a recurrence... wishing her a long and healthy life.take care..

Dont buy into the hype that Breast cancer. is the 5th biggest cancer in women over 50+ Most of the population dies from other types of cancer. Your mom will be okay. WHat you should do is contact susan komen foundation and get some of the money that they have made. (trust me they have PLENTY, compared to any other charity) and use that to pay for her treatment.

I had Stage 1 Breast Cancer, with No Lymph Node involvement, and all I needed was 6 weeks of Radiation. Why are they giving her Chemo? Here chances are excellent for surival.

If it wasnt in the lymph nodes she will survive.

research how Vitamin B17 might be a cure for cancer & also, research the Raw Food Diet (it's cured people of different diseases!)
