As a Stage III breast cancer survivor of 6 years I have met a lot of people with breast cancer.I have friends who have been diagnosed stage IV and one has lived 22 years so far and another 16 years and is still alive. I also have a friend who was diagnosed at stage II. She died less than two years later. I know how bad you want the answer because I have asked that for myself over the last six years. I'm not sure anyone can give you a guaranteed answer. Continue to look if that is what you need but please don't drive yourself crazy. Spend time with your mom while she still is able to enjoy the time with you. Create some more memories that you can keep forever. It's hard to face loosing a parent or seeing their health decline. I lost my mom 18 years ago and my father is declining in the present.

Your mom's doctor is the only person that knows all the areas that are affected by her cancer and is really the best person to give you an answer. Let the doctor know that you need an idea and that you understand that even with an answer it is still only an educated guess.

Good Luck and Best Wishes for both of you.

I understand exactly what you are asking and why. My ";little" sister was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer and llived three years. It will vary greatly from person to person. Only God knows our "return" date. I agree that you should perpare for the worst and hope for the best. And pray, pray, pray for comfort for your Mother and youself and family. My heart cries for you. Keep your chin up and know that prayers are coming your way. Give yourself a big hug. BL
