Hi, My mom has Breast Cancer that has spread to her bones, she is 69 years old in fairly good health however, she went thru chemo for Ovarian Cancer 10 years ago, then again 5 years ago. Now she is going thru Radiation for a spot on the base of her neck for 15 days then she will go thru Chemo. What is her prognosis?

Dear Debs33: It is not possible to speculate on how long a person will live. This will depend upon her response to therapy and how the disease behaves. Her doctor, based on a thorough evaluation, may be able to provide an educated guess as to her prognosis, but we cannot do this via the internet.
