A member asked:
Her2-positive breast cancer stage 1 level 3 and 70 yrs old - how much longer can somebody expect to live?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A full lifetime: Stage 1 cancer is curable with appropriate treatment. With surgery to remove the tumor, and appropriate chemotherapy including herceptin, (trastuzumab) the chance of cure is very high. In someone age 70, the doses of chemo drugs might need to be reduced, but Herceptin (trastuzumab) is not chemo. Older people do well on it! it is very unlikely she will die from breast cancer if she gets good treatment now.
