Questions for your Breast Cancer Specialists:
1. Am I going to die of breast cancer?
2. What is the percentage chance I could die in the next 5 years?
3. Do factors like “triple negative receptors” or “HER2-positive receptors” or “my youth” make my chance of dying higher than the average statistics?
4. Will I die of breast cancer?
This is a difficult question to answer early in your cancer care but it is still worth asking. Many people just diagnosed with cancer have no idea how much of a risk to their life their unique situation poses. Most breast cancers carry a low risk of recurrence, especially early stage cancers. The answer is usually reassuring.
What is the chance I could die in the next 5 years?
The average 5-year survival rate for all people with breast cancer is 89%. The 10-year rate is 83%; and the 15-year rate is 78%. If the cancer is located only in the breast (Stage I), the 5-year survival rate is 99%. More than 70% of breast cancers are diagnosed at an Early Stage.
All survival statistics are primarily based on the stage of breast cancer when diagnosed. Some of the other important factors are also listed below that affect survival.
Breast Cancer Stage is important:
Non-invasive breast cancer
Stage 0 breast cancer can be also described as a “pre-cancer.” If you have DCIS (Ductal Carcinoma In-situ) you can be quite confident you will do well. DCIS does not spread to other organs. What can be concerning is when an invasive cancer grows back in the area of a prior lumpectomy for DCIS. This type of local recurrence does carry a risk to your life. Luckily, this does not happen frequently. Also, be aware that those who have had DCIS in the past are at a higher risk for developing an entirely new, invasive breast cancer. Take our video lesson on “Non-Invasive DCIS“ (here) to learn more.
Early Stage “Invasive breast cancer“
Stage I invasive breast cancer has an excellent survival rate. The chance of dying of Stage I breast cancer within five years of diagnosis is 1 to 5% if you pursue recommended treatments.
Stage II breast cancer is also considered an early stage breast cancer. There is a slightly increased risk to your life versus a Stage I breast cancer. Altogether, the risk of Stage II breast cancer threatening your life in the next 5 years is about 15%.
Later-Stage breast cancer (more advanced cancer)
Stage III breast cancer has a higher risk to your life, with a 72% survival at 5 years. There are many individual and tumor specific factors that can change this survival rate.
Inflammatory breast cancer is a more worrisome Stage III breast cancer. Overall, the 5-year survival rate for inflammatory breast cancer is about 50%.
Stage IV breast cancer means that the cancer has spread beyond the breast to other organs or parts of the body. These metastases are not viewed in general to be curable. The treatment is aimed at helping people live longer with their cancer. This is the type of cancer carries up to 75 to 80% risk of dying within five years.
What tumor factors threaten my life more?
There are important “tumor biology” factors not well reflected in survival statistics by breast cancer “stage.” Below we list a few important factors that carry a higher risk to life beyond just the stage of cancer.
“Triple Negative Receptor” breast cancer
Triple negative breast cancer is considered a more aggressive breast cancer. Invariably it does require chemotherapy. If you have a triple negative breast cancer the risk of dying is higher than the standard statistics usually quoted for a particular stage of breast cancer (Stage I - IV). Learn more about “Triple Negative Breast Cancer“ with our video lesson (here)
“HER2-Positive” breast cancer
HER2-positive breast cancers are also more aggressive tumors. But the good news is that we now have incredibly effective, targeted chemotherapy and immunotherapy for HER2-positive cancers. Our video lesson covers “HER2-Positive Breast Cancer“ in more detail (here).
Untreated breast cancer
Untreated breast cancer obviously carries a higher risk of death than those who undergoing treatment. All survival statistics are based on breast cancer that underwent recommended treatment such as surgery, endocrine therapy, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. If you elect to not undergo standard treatment options, your chance of survival will be lower than the standard statistics for survival by stage.
My mom was just diagnosed and I hop everything is already plz pray for her 🙏

I’m currently battling stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. I’ll have my 5 years in February 2019. Thank you for this information
I'm at the five year mark as well., My cancer spread all through my body. To liver kidney lymph in throat and lungs. I've been stage 4 4 years. The doctor won't tell me how long.
L C Keep on fighting. I’m now at 6 years. It’s scary some days but I’m thankful for the good days. God Bless You 🙏🏼
Luis Fuentes I hope your mother is still in the fight. My mom had ovarian cancer but didn’t pass away from it. I get PET Scans every 3 months. The results and waiting time is awful I know. Please stay strong 💪 and I pray that your mom is still in the fight. Be blessed 🙏🏼
@@auntielisalisabopeepsa I am so glad to read your message it's hard some days for sure. But enjoying the sunshine and flowers helps. I get so afraid and am passing out and have trouble eating but we can. May the Lord bless you and keep you
L C Yes some days are difficult. I get it believe me. My oncologist hasn’t told me how long I have. However she did say “I’m no longer curable but treatable”. So each day I wake up I thank God and ask Him for strength 💪 I’ll continue praying for you 🙏🏼🌷
I wish he would make new videos! Love his explanations!
You're so informative.
Thank you so much. You make scary and complex facts easier to approach with your depth of knowledge, your calming voice and demeanor
Thank you for the clarity explaining the stages of breast cancer.
Thanks for such a good explanation. I’m a general practitioner doctor but patients and friends keep asking questions about their breast cancer diagnosis and meaning of different terminology. I benefited from your lectures a lot to explain my patients and friends (who think I’m the jack of all trades, which I’m not)
Thanks again. My best wishes to you.

@marry testy shut up
I had TNBC stage 2. My recent check up showed tiny mass near old scar and biopsy result came with recurrent. I am very surprised that in just 2 years of my treatment, it came back.
How are you going now?
Thank you for your videos, they're very helpful. I had stage 1A IDC (ER+ HER2-) with no lymph node involvement, negative genetic screening and an onco DX score of 2. I had a lumpectomy with radiation, a hysterectomy with ovary removal and am on an aromatase inhibitor. I'm constantly second guessing my choice of surgery but your videos are encouraging that I made the right decision.
I have the same thing. About to start hormone therapy but contemplating the hysterectomy. I think I may want to do that in the next year or less
@@leftyleft5803 it was honestly the best decision ever for me. I have no regrets whatsoever. Good luck to you.

My aunt has cancer we just got this information today and my mother is emotional because she is the only person she talks on a regular basis and I try to tell her that everything is ok in the early stages but she said so many people that she knows died from early stage so I hope this will cheat her up
How can we determine the progression or and spread of cancer?
Thank you. I am scared found something still more test need to be done
Praying 🙏🏻 for you .. me too they seen something in my mammogram now went to have a ultrasound.
My mother had a fibroadenoma stage 2cancer i hope that i cant go chemoterapy all type of cancer had undergo chemo....?
i hope he make new one and about mataplastic breast cancer.
thank you.
Hello Chrissy, how’re you doing?
Please pray to my mama also🙏
my mom just got diagnosed and waiting to know which stage it is… She’s in the US but I am a foreigner working in Germany. I likely can’t even visit her due to visa restrictions…
I found my way here coze my mom is also diagnosed with Breast cancer
I have breast cancer for 3rd staged in sept 28 2109 I have done for surgery in mastectomy but my limp node in my armpit is 46 to 49 then her 2 negative asrtogen receptor negative and progesterone negative metastasis invasive carsinoma what should I do waiting for chemo at what the doctor said
@marry testy fuck off
Thx
My wife's right breast has just swollen, with a numb or minor swell between her armpit and the swelling breast. She underwent several test and screening but doctors couldn't identify its cause. From her diagnosis, it was written as cancer or TB. We still making every attempt to identify the real problem. From your understanding, would TB indicate similar signs or symptoms? Thank you
It is any problem to life live?
Thanks for very informative video. My 70-yo cousin, otherwise in good general health, has been diagnosed with Stage 1, HER2-, Invasive Lobular Carcinoma. It has NOT spread to the lymph nodes or other organs. Some metastatis is noticed in bones. She is on 2.5 mg Fempro, and within 3 weeks of medication has shown remarkable improvement, with only minor side effects. Her Oncologist has recommended Ribociclib, which is prohibitively expensive, and totally unaffordable without insurance.
What are her chances of 5- and 10-year survival?

Thankyou😊 I have IDC that has not spread. I am doing exactly what my healthcare team planned out for me. After the first treatment, the lumps in the left side lymph nodes were gone! The oncologist coudnt find them, so the chemo seems to be working.! Yay! The cancer is only in the left breast. They want to shrink it before surgery. Which will be after chemo sometime in August. Its time consuming, but worth it! One day at a time! The Anderson cancer center is awesome! The doctors and nurses are the best! I look forward to being with the
nurses during my treatments 😂 we kid around alot! I have my own little chemo room with a tv and theres a snack bar. Whooo hoo! 🥰 The nausea medicines work great, so Iam all covered! 😎 So cool 🤩🥳😂 👍
I hope you doing well.
@@zomaardan hi 🙋♀️ Thankyou very much. 😊
I have the same but they remove the breast and lymph nodes and radiotheraphy. . I don’t what is my next treatment. ER/PR positive HER2 negative
PlZzz prey for my mom ... She is in stage 4 ... Dr. Said she will not survive any more
Prayers for your mom. 🙏🏻
The condition of your heart and history of heart attack can affect your treatment options also. I’m running into this issue with recently diagnosed triple negative.
I'm so grateful to not have started treatment because I didn't suffer, due to the fact that it spread to stage 4, five years ago and it spread more, but I didn't have breast surgery and I am so glad l didn't let them do it cause it would have killed me and the Lord knows my day and my place, I fear not the unknown.
@@lc8656 what please explain more I want to hear more
@@harryvaliente9425 Not getting treatment was definitely the right choice, the government expects you follow through with their treatment.the pain and suffering that usually only prolongs your life 6 months or is kills you after you suffered so dramatically why not spend the time you have fulfilling your dreams.
Update please?
What the difference between stages of breast cancer and grades of breast cancer..
I think grade is how fast it grows/aggressive it is, & stage is how far it’s spread?
What about her2 low doctor?

Is there some food that you recommend not to eat? please help me.
A healthy diet leaning on the organic vegetarian approach is felt best for general health and cancer of all types. Everything in moderation. Will create a video lesson on this topic in the future. Thanks for asking.
IslaVista61 I was told a more vegan type diet.
I’m researching juicing greens with a quality juicer. The cure is to nourish the tumors at a cellular level, which can only be extracted by juicing.
Enabling and enhancing the quality as well as the quantity of greens than by eating directly.
Juicing also maintains all of the nutrients rather than cooking.
Raw, raw raw!!! Bon appetite:)

I have stage lll with 19 bad lymph nodes. I was a hospice nurse for 20 years. Why were all of my breast cancer patients bald headed? You oncologists know the answer. You give chemo to get the money.
How would you know if you have breast cancer
My mom just got told she had breast cancer we don’t know anything yet though
@dboyking123 hey it’s gonna be ok my mom is now recovering she has surgery it’s not as worryful as you think everything will be ok
Depending on the level my mom has level two so she had to do chemo for about 6 months then she had to do a surgery either dissectomy or lumpectomy and then they’ll test the tissue and if there is still cancer you could have to do 14 more rounds of chemo but it’s less intense but if you don’t have cancer you won’t have to do that

@marry testy God is the Healer.Im a Breast Cancer Survivor.Herbs are great also.
yea, nowadays...if you have anything other than TNBC you'll be doing fine if you catch it early enough.
TNBC and 'regular' (hormone or HER2 positive) breast cancer should not be compared with eachother to be honest.
My one breast has some pain, it is a sign of breast cancer?
It could be. That was the only sign I had. I thought a pain here and there was from aging. My little 17 year old teacup Abbey rested her little head on my left breast and gave me the saddest look. It scared me. I took a shower and saw the dent. I called the doctor and made an appointment for a mammogram and ultrasound. Dr. had to order the ultrasound. Then I had biospy done. I have cancer in my left breast. Invasion ductal breast cancer. There are three tumors. I am fixing to have surgery and chemo. Please get checked. I hope you don't have cancer.
@@lorilewis4447 are you oksy now?, what stage is your cancer?
Will I survive dealing with the cancer "care" corporation my insurance corporation assigned me to? Will I survive their treating me like a number with a common cold?

why is the financial cost never mentioned......that is a reality, how much is one life worth, being a burden in every sense to your family
Who thinks about money When your loved one is sick..?
Well with breast cancer issues a lot of money is involved. My mum has being diagnosed of breast cancer stage 3.and the first surgery has been done which cost us alot but we still need more money for rediothraphy and stuff. So breast cancer treatment is very expensive. As human as we are we wish this sickness never exist.

The biggest threat to cancer survival, regardless of "stage" and regardless of "tumor factors", is failure on the part of doctors like this one to recognize and promulgate the role of the high-fat high-cholesterol Standard American Diet (SAD) in causing (yes, Causing) cancer and failure to promote the benefits of unprocessed plants-only oil-free diet before it's too late (in other words, regardless of "stage" or "other factors"). Your risk is far higher, regardless of "stage", if you remain on the SAD. These doctors are fixated on treatment and oblivious to cure. Explore his Breast Cancer School for Patients. You will not find one word about diet there. Their silence on this is shameful; the establishment medical community is has become a business; there's no profit in getting people healthy. But at least you have this heads-up, hopefully before this comment is edited out, and can learn on your own.
I am diagnose of breastcancer stage IV on june 2016, never get a surgery here in Suriname, only chemotherapy, now in 2020 I take pills Anastrozol once a day and Metformine twice a day. How I live my life is consuming more vegetables and fruit than
fish or meat.How more bitter the vegetable, how better. Using bitter melon daily is for me living as I am in a good heath.Just try to eat a bitter melon, or making smooties with all kinds of vegetables, you'll notice by yourself .

They don't talk about natural Drs. either.
He’s not a dietitian anyway. But if he has the data of Adverse effects of SAD diet from his clinical experience, he can share it with people who fortunately are healthy and can benefit from his diet recommendations and other preventive measures. I hope he’ll give it a thought. Thanks
He's lying!!!
What do u mean?
20 percent are false diagnosis, be careful!
I knew I had breast cancer for 3 years, NHS ignored my symptoms even after my dog was indicating I had breast cancer. After 3 years of returning to clinic annually I demanded a biopsy when once again they told me it was normal. I had the biopsy, few days later the call came to return to clinic. I had a 73 mm ilc. 8 months later I had surgery after taking letrozole which failed to reduce tumour size. I had radiotherapy and a booster ss 1 lymph node was positive. I changed clinics as trust had gone. What is possibility of distance mets given the size of tumour.
In which stage you come to know??
