2 years ago my mum was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer and I was just wondering how long people actually live with it .. not to sound morbid .. & what the survival rate is? Please dont hold back in fear of freaking me out I need to know the truth thanks x It started off just in her breast and lymph nodes but its spread to her bone and maybe lung now.

Well, all cancers are potentially and eventually "terminal". They never really go away and can always resurface and cause a patient to die. Not quite sure why they called hers termianl and two years later she's not "terminated". Also not sure what was diagnosed at the time. Was the cancer just in her breast tissue or had it affected other organs too? If it was just the breast tissue, it can't be called terminal. Most breast CA patients live a rather healthy life for years to come, if the cancer has not spread elsewhere, specially liver, lung, or bone
