Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She has lobular type pf breast cancer.  If it is treated in early stage then life expectancy is very good.  5 year survival rate is high.  So life expectancy depends on stage and spread of cancer.  Moreover, chemotherapy and hormone receptor status also affect the prognosis.  But overall life expectancy is good. So don't worry about that. Just be relaxed. Continue with your treatment. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
