My mom has it and she went through chemotherapy, she had surgery, and now she’s going on to radiation. I don’t want her to die or anything! What are the chances of dying from breast cancer? Thanks.

    The exact chances are based on how large the original tumor was and whether it spread at all.
    However, you should be happy to know that the “overall” 5-year survival rate for breast cancer is near 90%. So unless she was diagnosed at a late stage (meaning the cancer had spread), there is every reason to hope that her treatments will be successful and that she will be around for a long time to come.

    Big bear sized hugs for you sweetie! Your mother is so blessed to have you in her life. I am nine years a breast cancer survivor.
    Unfortunately there are no cut and dried answers for you. Many factors come in to play. The type of breast cancer, the size, the stage and whether or not it has spread all contribute. Here are some links to helpful sites.
