Have you ever had breast cancer and survived? Or anyone in your family or a friend? My grandma did and she survived! It was really hard not knowing if she was going to die or live!
I would do the sign but it won’t let me. Remember this word: Hope.

i know 2 people. Its more common to survive breast cancer if caught early, then other forms. Ex. lung
My ex wife had a mastectomy and lymph glands removed 9 years ago and she is still going strong.Also the treatment made her realise how important every second of life is and she left me after 35 years of marriage to enjoy her new life.
Many people survive the breast cancer but the breast is removed to insulate the growth in other part of the body.iT also depend on the stageof diagnosis.
as far as i know, breast cancer patient after having chemotherapy, and mastectomy can only prolong the patient’s life.. and sorry to say, in some cases it can metastasize to another form of cancer. so i can not say that the patient is totally recovered after having such procedures. (to know if the patient survive wait for 10 to 20 years)
Yes my mom was stage three and it was a very large tumor. She had a mastectomy 2 years ago, followed by a stroke and angioplasty. Luckily she is doing pretty well today.
yes my auntie
interesting question after yesterday’s reports about the over diagnosis of breast cancer and the over treatment of it once diagnosed There is a suggestion that in the way that many men develop prostate cancer and are symptomless and die WITH the prostate cancer rather than FROM it, the same may be true of some breast cancers.
So women are being picked up in the screening process, and some are treated unnecessarily who would not develop symptoms of die of the cancer anyway.
I have however also got 2 friends who have had radical surgery and treatment for breast cancer and are both now 5 years clear. Hurray for them!
Yes, im 16 years old and I have braest cancer. Its to early for the doctors to do anything for me and the cancer is not growing but it IS very scary, and the chances of surviving are VERY high! My grandmother also has breast cancer and she is also in Radiation and she is doing very well!!!
My aunt had it years back in the mid 90′s.. she first did lumpectomy then got a double mastectomy..she is fine as wine now!
Breast cancer is survivable. I was 27 in 1986 when first diagnosed. My boys were then 4 and 5. I had a complete mastectomy and chemo. Then in 1995 it recurred in the same side. More surgery and radiation. Now at the age of almost 50 – so far so good. My boys are now 27 and 28 with families of their own. I am a grandmother of 3 – two boys ages 8 and 5, and a girl age 1 1/2yrs. Madi will be a big sister in October. So then we’ll have 4 to love.
Surviving was worth the fight. My mother and her mother lost their fight with breast cancer. My mother was only 53, and her mother was very young – as my mother was only months old when her mother passed.
So you see, we have cancer genes in our family – but you have to give this disease a run for its money. Be aware of any changes on your body. Don’t be afraid to touch yourself, do self breast exams – learn what is normal.
