Hi,
I was diagnosed in January, 1999 and plan to live into my 90's. Many advances in breast cancer treatment were made since I was diagnosed that have helped me. Many more new medicines and treatments will be developed in the future, so if you take good care of yourself, are proactive and assertive with your docs you have a good chance of being a long term survivor. Stay positive !! Have hope.
