Highly variable: Depends on where & how much metastatic disease, cell type, response to chemotherapy & underlying medical conditions. Some patients can live many years and some may not do as well.

It varies from years: The avergae survival of metastatic breast cancer patients is 2-3 years but it is highly variable and can range from 6 months to 10+ years!. Patients who have only one organ involved or if the cancer is limited to bones only tend to live for 4-5 years on an average.
