My mother has breast cancer and is scared it has spread. We still havent gone for a PET scan and currently have that scheduled. She has had removal of tumor, mastectomy and the port put in and has sprung back very quickly from all three surgeries. She is very healthy and nothing would make you assume she has cancer. She is fearfull that it has spread. Would you know if it has spread elsewhere by syptoms or something? Also if there are no symptoms and it has spread does that mean it is in distant sites but in small growth? She had ductal invasive breast cancer and then spread to 10 nodes which tested pos and one was measured at 3 or 5cm. It also spread outside the node as well. I just cant picture it being elsewhere and the doctor saying you only have a few months to live. She is just way to healthy and looking good how can her health digress so fast? This is crazy!
My aunt has been diagnosed with stage 4 aggressive breast cancer just recently. Her legs even broke because it metastisized to her bone. It’s in her organs too, like her liver. The doctors say she only has 6 months to live at the most. Is it possible that she could live longer? Is there anything I can do? I don’t want her to die and I’m really scared for her. :[
my wife has gone thru the full chemo treatment for breast cancer, and had a masectomy last week.
now the doctor said the pathology test show she has vascular space invasion. she had 6 lymph nodes removed as weell - the chemo killed the cancer in this.
what is the news about this - survival-recurrance-treatment. please give it to us straight, thanks

**Update** Thank You so Much For Everyones Prayers And Thoughts. My Mother Finished Her Chemo Therapy and She is Doing Much Better. Cancer Free! I Pray That We FInd a Cure.
A heart-warming story about a scientist, breast cancer and her fight to find a cure through animal research. … www.ResearchSaves.org
I had chemo, radiation, lumpectomy I am a year out of treatment, 4 out of 9 lymph nodes were cancerous and I did not have clean margins. It is hard to find late stage breast cancer survivors. I am 50 yrs. old I still have a lot more living to do.
that when she survives 7 years the survival rate drops. ” After seven years, the survival rate decreases for each stage. ”
Here is the link: http://www.imaginis.com/breasthealth/staging3.asp
I do not understand this because after 7 years of not having cancer should’nt it be a “normal-life span” after being cancer free?
