breast cancer pictures

I just found out that my aunt has moved up to stage 4 breast cancer that has spread to her liver, lymnode, leg, neck etc. I don’t know much about cancer and all I really want to know is what is the survival rate when you’ve reached stage 4? The doctors plan on Chemo therapy.

I am reading the book “The Cancer Vixen” and in it she states that if you have cancer and do not have insurance the survival rate drops to 48%. That is a huge drop of survival rates, do you agree?

She stated the facts from the American Cancer Society. When she got breast cancer stage 1 she did not have any insurance. I cannot imagine trying to fight cancer without it can you?

So far our costs for 6 months is about $200,000. In USA Today, it reports that Americans are not doing all the treaments of chemotherapy and radiation because they cannot afford it, that is a shame!

any percentage of this breast cancer.

We are writing speeches in my english class, and it’s supposed to be about something you believe in fighting for.

Since my aunt has been diagnosed with breast cancer, I am going to write my speech about finding the cure for breast cancer.

So, if you can, please help me out a bit:

1. About how many women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year?

2. About how many of these women die?

3. What is the average survival rate?

4. Are we any closer to finding a cure in ‘09 than in the early 2000’s?

Thank you very much

If there are 17000 cases of breast cancer, and after 5 years 5400 people have died. What survival rate (%) is that?

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

my mom 9years ago, on the 13th of this month, discovered she had breast cancer.
now, 9years later, the dr’s said her breast cancer cells are high, meaning its possible for her to get breast cancer again…
i was told along w/my family that after 7 years of clear she will be clear of breast cancer forever..but now there saying she is at high risk.

IF she does happen to get breast cancer again…what is the percentage of her survival rate again for the 2nd time?
