What are the chances of a Woman age 45-55 of dying Breast Cancer?
Ok, so there is a lump in a friend of mine's mother. It is in one of her breasts. It could possibly be Breast Cancer but we are hoping otherwise. Could she die? What are the risks of surgery if it does come down to that?

it all comes down to the biopsy. the type of tumor will give you something to assess as far as death/surgery/chemotherapy/ ect. it could be quite bad..or a small procedure..time will tell.

a lump could be a cyst and this is bening and therefore NON-cancerous,its called mastopathy....try to reduce stress and to exercise helps also to reduce sensitivity and pain-sensations.Im 41/caucasian and was diagnozed with this disease 3 years ago,just have a regular check-up including mammogram/ thats all,she can lead a normal life and no theraphy is necessary

The chances of someone dyeing from breast cancer are not measured by the person’s age it is measured by the disease. At this point it is premature to consider death when you don’t even know she has cancer. If it is cancer the risk of surgery is far less than the risk of not having surgery. If she has been having her annual check ups and mammograms she has a good chance of catching it early. 80% of breast lumps that are biopsied are not cancer.
