How long can you live with breast cancer before you die

How long can you live with breast cancer before you die?
I'm just curious. My mom's friend has breast cancer and she has been dealing with it for about 3 to 5 months. How long do you live with breast cancer?

It all depends on the particular cancer and the individual. Some women are treated and live for 50 more years. Some die within a year. There's no way to guess about your mom's friend based on the little you have said.
2 :
There is no way to answer that question - as every woman is different and your age, your health, the Stage of the cancer, how invasive and what type of breast cancer is all relevant to how long one can live after being diagnosed. Go to the Susan G. Komen web site or the American Breast Cancer web site for some statistics. Hopefully your mom's friend is getting treatment at a good Cancer Center or Oncology Dr. - and she'll go into remission and live a long time.

So much depends on the type, severity and point of diagnosis, as well as the treatment given. Many, many sufferers have a full and healthy life after breast cancer. It's always worth remembering that none of us have a guaranteed life span - with or without cancer. Hope your friend's Mum is well soon.

I was diagnosed 4 years ago - fine now. My sister was diagnosed 16 years ago - fine now. My mother died of breast cancer 16 years after first diagnosis. Aunt died of breast cancer 50 years after first diagnosis. Every case is different. Early diagnosis and treatment gives the best chance of recovery and lack of recurrence.

Hello, If the patient achieves a cure, she can live out a full life. Fortunate patients caught early do not die of their cancer. This is the goal of mastectomy and other treatments for the disease. Best Regards, John Di Saia MD

Impossible to answer. With early detection and treatment, a person can possibly live the rest of their normal life. Unknown variables (like if the cancer invaded the lymph nodes) make determining how long a person will live a "wait and see" game. My mother-in-law only lived 6 yrs after receiving treatment. However, I attended a breast cancer awareness rally recently and met a 17 yr survivor. Mark the charityplush.com team

If the cancer has grown beyond where it started, it is called invasive. Most cancers are invasive. Sometimes cancer cells can also spread to other parts of the body through the blood or lymph system. treatment will vary on the type there are many types and the grade and stage it is at..chances of survival are good with treatments but also depend on many factors

I been sleeping with mine for years and I don't have cancer.

Wearing a bra to bed will not cause you to get breast cancer. The people you heard this from don't know what they are talking about. Wearing a bra to bed will help keep your breast healthy; and it might prevent them from sagging I don't know.
6 :
No. You can't get breast cancer by wearing a bra to sleep. I've done it many times in my life and no, it doesn't happen. Besides, if you do wear a bra to bed, it doesn't help unsag your breasts, it just stays there. Bras are meant to be worn when you're sitting or standing, not sleeping. When you're sleeping your laying down which doesn't do anything to your breasts at all. They do have exersises which keep them up anyway.

constricting the blood flow is one way to get a lot of ailments. Not just by wearing tight garments, but in a lot of ways
