sportfanatic asked:
The cancer did not spread to the lymph nodes or any part of her body. She will go through chemotherapy and radiation. We’re all optimistic she will live a very long life, but the only statistics I’ve seen is that 5 yr survival rate. Is there any data beyond that? Breast cancer survivor responses only please!

Doctors can never give you a definite estimate. Each case is different. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in the later stages and is now a 25 year survivor and counting. She had a radical mastectomy and chemotherapy, and has never had a recurrence.
I suggest your sister contact the local cancer society and find out about the Reach to Recovery program. It is a group of survivors that sort of mentor newly diagnosed patients through the whole process.
