Depend on so many things, Lisa. In general - and this is very general, based on statistics, and NOT on your particular case –  if the cancer hasn't left your breast (i.e., it hasn't traveled to your lymph nodes), you're looking at a 5-year survival rate of around 90%. If it's traveled to lymph nodes, the 5-year survival rate is about 84%. Hope this helps. For more/better information about your particular prognosis, please speak with your doctor. Good luck - PJH
