Mums had cervical & lung. BF has breast cancer.

I obviuously know the drill with my mums cervical and lung and now my best friend has breat cancer.   She will have a breast removed followed by chemo.....i always thought lung cancer would be a killer but she had a lobectomy.....so now thinking my friends breast removal means a more survival rate????

  • Hi Sienna, 

    I'm so sorry to hear you're best friend has breast cancer. You're certainly having a tough time of late but I'm sure the experience you've had with your mum will prove invaluable to your best friend. I have included some general statistics we have about survival rates for breast cancer for you to have a look at but do get in touch with our cancer nurses if you would like to chat about this with them in more detail.

    Their freephone number is 0808 800 4040 and are available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I hope this helps and wish you all the very best.

    Kind regards,
