Q: survivor rate of women with invasive ductal carcinoma?
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

The stage of her cancer, not her age, determines what her prognosis is. If the cancer has not spread outside her breast, she has an excellent chance to live a long and healthy life. Even if her cancer is more advanced, treatment today has raised survival rates.
Often when young women are diagnosed with breast cancer, it turns out that they carry the BRCA gene, so it would be a good idea for her to discuss genetic testing with her doctor. I'm sure it is a terrible shock to learn that someone so young has breast cancer, but prompt treatment can save her life.
