More info!: Gosh! I'm sorry you're sick! Not as sorry as you, I know. It is good to ask questions. In this case, we don't know enough. What type of breast cancer do you have? Do you have any other medical problems? Are you tolerating the chemo? These questions all affect survival. So does "luck." Talk to your docs, if they haven't given you this information clearly. Have questions written down. Take notes

Breast cancer: Sadly, in general, metastatic breast cancer is ultimately deadly. How long each person lives varies greatly. Once the cancer gets into soft tissue organs such as lung, liver or brain the life expectancy is generally very short, a year or less. However, there have been some advances in recent years that allow patients to live longer in some cases.
