i don’t know the cancer of was which level/stage.
please tell me if she is normal now or how many years/months she would live?
Staging tests help determine the size and location of your cancer and whether it has spread. They also help your doctor determine the best treatment for you. Cancer is staged using the numbers 0 through IV.
Stage 0 cancers are also called noninvasive, or in situ (in one place) cancers. Although they don’t have the ability to spread to other parts of your body or invade normal breast tissue, it’s important to have them removed because they eventually can become invasive cancers. Finding and treating a cancerous lump at this stage offers the best chance for a full recovery.
Stage I to IV cancers are invasive tumors that have the ability to spread to other areas. A stage I cancer is small and well localized and has a very successful treatment rate. But the higher the stage number, the lower the chances of cure. By stage IV, the cancer has spread beyond your breast to other organs, such as your bones, lungs or liver. Although it may not be possible to eliminate the cancer at this stage, its spread may be controlled with radiation, chemotherapy or both.
If the cancer tissue was removed completely there is nothing to worry, the person can lead a normal life throughout. The medicines do go on for some time to eliminate any remnant cancer cells if present in the body. The stage of cancer is also helpful in letting us know the prognosis. tell her to be positive and have a strong will power she will be perfectly fine. Don’t discuss the topic about cancer with her as this may lead to more stress on her and this will affect her health adversely.
In our lives, we suffer a lot.. We walk through on several trials, that causes us to give up. Sometimes we think life is so unfair because of the hindrance we’ve been through. We struggle a lot to survive, but when things went wrong and everything is gone, we find someone to blame on and ask “why me?”..But things are just not constant, things may come and go, if not today, tommorrow, or never. But we need to value things that comes along our way, looking back the past may serve as our guidance to a new and better path forward..
“Every problem has a gift inside. We seek problems because we want their gifts.”
If the cancerous cells were effectively removed, then she can live a normal life. However cancer can return in which case treatment will be required again.
As above, it depends how healthy she is and how quickly the cancer was detected/treated.
It really depends on the stage and how healthy the person is. My grandmother had brest cancer, after years of treatment it went away and hasen’t been back since. She’s about 70 and its been over 30 years since.
