Understanding Stage 3 Breast Cancer Treatment Options & Survival Rates
Questionmy sister was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer and all receptors are negative. she had her first treatment with atoxi, decarubicin, adreamycin and cytoxan. she developed severe headaches and now does not want to continue with the treatments. what are the chances of survival if she chooses to not have treatments?
AnswerIt is impossible to answer the question so easily. She may very well survive her cancer (= in reality die due to something else some time in the future without any return of her cancer)even without any chemo at all, BUT the only possible time to have a chance of curing her of her cancer is NOW! I can not guarantee that she will be cured BUT I can GUARANTEE that if her cancer does return at a later date she CAN NOT then be cured! So NOW is the time to try to kill her cancer completely! My advice to her is to try to take these side effects in order to increase her chances!
