Not sure, possible: Stage 2 breast cancer are larger and/or have spread to nearby lymph nodes. Many treatments may help. The five-year survival rate for women with stage ii cancer is estimated to be about 74% - 81% or higher. Being curable is difficult to say but the longer the survival rate, the better the chance.

Breast cancer: Until her surgery is complete and her lymph nodes and breast tissue are examined you will not know her true stage of disease. Please be patient and make sure she has seen a plastic surgeon if she has had a mastectomy. It is her right to have the best reconstruction possible.
