All About Breast Cancer?

Question:

recently my best friends mom was diagnosed with it, so if somebody can tell me all about it, causes, treatments, forms, stages, prognosis.. id be very relieved.

Answers:
8 out of 10 women now survive breast cancer. It depends very much on the stage - if its only in the breast and nowhere else she has a very good chance. If it has metastised (spead to other areas) the picture is more uncertain. try this link! I hope she will be ok,
