Hello doctor my friend is detected with t3n2mo breast cancer and had uti due to diabetes 5 months back.she is 62yrs what is her chance of survival.?

Odds In Her Favor...: ...With treatment (including chemotherapy). It's very important not to focus on one specific number since there are many variables that are not included above and survival data lags behind the current state-of-the-art care. The best support you can give to your friend is to ask her how you can help--leave the statistics to the statisticians.

It depends: First of all sorry to hear your loved one is diagnosed with cancer. There are good treatment options for locally advanced breast cancer which seems to be the case here. I have known patients with similar disease that are several decade survivors. It depends on how well treatment response is.
