When Triple Negative Breast Cancer Spreads To The Liver What Are The Chances Of Survival?

3 Comments

My friend was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer that spread to her liver, after a year of chemo (not consistent, she has low blood platelets so they had to get a grip on that first) she went for a body scan..the tumor in her liver grew 2 cm and they found two more small spots in her stomach. I am in denial I know, but what are her chances of actually beating this? I am researching, but I really can’t find ANY hopeful news. Is there any?

    Metastatic breast cancer is not curable even if it is not a triple negative. However, breasts cancers that are hormone receptor positive are much better managed. The median survival for your friend’s cancer is 2-3 years. I’m very sorry.

    I’m sorry to say, but the survival-rate at this point is only at ~10-15 % It’s kinda difficult to measure survival-rates with cancer since it’s also time-based.
    If she got diagnosed with it very recently, I’d say she has about 5 years left. Unless of course, she beats it. Tell her to keep fighting. ^^

    I wish I could give you some good news, but liver cancer is very hard to beat.
    I lost my cousin to this as a primary cancer and have lost several friends and family when it has spread to the liver.
