Karen, you have a very typical diagnosis, one which the vast majority of women survive. Your doctor can give you specific 5-year survival rates, based on your particular diagnosis and treatment. But stage 2A is towards the lower end of "seriousness," so if I were you I'd expect to be around for a long time to come! Good luck - PJH
