[BowTies1]

need some questions answered on this

1) can it be cured
2) whats the chances of surviving it
3) how is it cured

[lew!]

It cant be cured, thats all i know. but they are researching it.

[Charlie]

It can be cured I think, as long as it stays in the breast and doesn't spread, because then they need to start chemo.

I think anyways.

[lAscend]

As said it cant be cured as there is always a possible chance that it can come back if you have had the cemo, the chances of surviving it i would say are between 35% - 65% not too quiet sure on that question, there is nothing to cure it apart from cemo but this always doesnt work!

[Catzsy]

Well its a very complicated issue depending on what kind of breast cancer it is. Recent statistics of invasive cancer where it has spread beyond the breast say that 69% live for at least 20 years and 72% for at least 10 years.

There is also another kind where it is just a cancerous lump and if it is removed then there is usually not much problem if it is caught early enough except they have to be screened more often.

9 out of 10 lumps though are not even cancerous so iy might be better if you
need more information I suggest you look here:

It can amongst other things be cured by drugs, removing the lumpor breast and radiation treatment.

It can't be cured, but you can get rid of it, but there's always a chance of it coming back through chemo.

I'm not sure what the chances are.

Chemo is used to try and get rid of it.

[Shrlurp]

It's cureable I think to some extent.

[Andeeh]

It is cureable.

i think you have to go through extensive chemo and radio therapy.

and i think in some occasions they have to amputate the breast to stop it spreading

if you go to cancer research website it may say more

[Soka]

its curable i know that for fact

my nanna has had it about 4 years ago and it was all cleared through chemo etc and now shes 100% healthy again etc.
