Stage 2 Breast Cancer?

Author: admin

I recently found out that my grandma has stage 2 breast cancer. I know we caught it early and that many people have recovered, but she’s nearly 77 or 78 ( i can’t remember) and a diabetic, slightly overweight. Will she be able to recover?


Answer:
Being diabetic, slightly overweight or 78 years old does not make her less apt to recover than anyone else. In fact, she is far more prone to do better than a 35 year old woman with the same stage breast cancer as young women tend to have a poorer prognosis.
