I REALLY NEED HELP IN FINDING ON AVERAGE MY SURVIVAL RATE. MY ONCOLIGIST TOLD ME TO START SEEING MY FAMILY DOCTOR BECAUSE I MISSED 2 FOLLOW UP APPT. DUE TO BEING SICK IN BED WITH ADEMA IN MY LEGS AND COULD NOT WALK. THE THING IS MY FAMILY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT CANCER. I HAD MY MASTECTOMY ON JULY 24/2009. THEY SAID THEY THINK I HAD CANCER SINCE 2005 OR 2006 BECAUSE THE PATHOLOGY REPORT SAID MY TUMOR SIZE WAS 3 CM. WHICH WAS BIGGER THAN THEY THOUGHT, JUST BY FEELING IT.

Hi - Please see responses to the other two questions you posted; the answer here would be the same. I'm sorry you're having to go through this; but you really need to have a good talk with you oncologist, for the best possible information on your diagnosis and prognosis. Best of luck - PJH
