Hi - Welcome to the club no one wants to join... Only your doctor can give you a realistic prognosis, as your cancer is personal to YOU. There are way too many variables to rely on general statistics. That said, s/he will have averages for women with a similar diagnosis to yours. Please ask your oncologist this question, as no one here could give you as clear an answer as your doctor. Good luck - PJH
