It's not as important as AIDS, so no cure will be found, which is reasonable given AIDS is a more devastating disease.
Sorry bud if it ain't AIDS, it ain't gonna be cured.

It depends on how far along it is shark'.
There's a whole webfull of sites devoted to information on it though. My Grandmother was diagnosed with it in the early '70's and had to have a radical Mastectomy. They got it though because she lived another 20 yrs and died from emphysema at 82. Good luck man and prayers sent for your Mom. |

My mom beat BC. 10 years later it came back in her liver. I guess that is not uncommon. Best wishes for your mom.

My sister is having her second round of surgery next week. It came back in the exact same spot, but fortunately it doesn't look like it has spread to any bones or organs.
There are different kinds of breast cancer, and younger women (like my sister) apparently tend to get the more aggressive varieties that feed on estrogen. Older women can have an easier time with it, particularly if they're post-menopausal. Of course, "easy" is a pretty relative term with something like this. Good luck and God bless. |

My Mother was first diagnosed with it at the age of 75, which resulted in her having a mastectomy. She was in remission for about 6 years when she was diagnosed with lung cancer, which she also beat. As has been mentioned, the most important part about beating cancer is early detection, which will greatly increase her odds of survival.
There are victories, so keep that in mind! |

The issue is how far it has progressed. Check on the web as there are many informative sites. Also, have her doctor really explain in which stage it is.
Attitude is important and support from all those around her. There are victories. Always remember that. I had a long battle with bladder cancer. it is a different situation, but the struggle itself was similar. My advantages were that it was diagnosed in time, a terrific doctor, and I decided that I am a tough old dog and too tough for cancer. Attitude does help. Very best wishes from someone else who has been there. My prayers are for her. |

Yes, my sister had it several years ago. She lost both breasts but is 100% cancer free. That was several years ago and she is still fine. She also had breast reconstruction surgery.
Breast cancer is easily beatable if caught soon enough. Sgtar15 |
