    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.

    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!

    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.

    Sometimes they remove the whole breast don't they?
    I’ll be a story in your head, but that’s okay, because we’re all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh? Because it was, you know. It was the best. A daft old man who stole a magic box and ran away. Did I ever tell you that I stole it? Well, I borrowed it. I always meant to take it back. Oh, that box, Amy, you’ll dream about that box. It’ll never leave you. Big and little at the same time. Brand-new and ancient and the bluest blue ever. And the times we had, eh? Would had…Never had. In your dreams, they’ll still be there. The Doctor and Amy Pond and the days that never came.

    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.

    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
    Do you ever feel like you want to go home?
    Lost in the crowd and you feel alone
