Cancer survival is much better now than it was 20-30yrs ago. I was terminally ill in 1985 with breast cancer and U.C.L.A. sent me home to die and I sent them to hell and went on my way. I met a wonderful doctor in Tijuana, Mexico who's grand- mother had breast cancer and who saw in me a desperate young mother trying to beat a horrible disease and try to live for her three young children ages 7,3 and 8 mos. Doctor Hugues Bellevue is the President of the World Federation of Traditional Doctors. He also practices alternative medicine. What I like about him (I usually don't trust doctors) is that he will open his books and have you read what you want to know and he speaks in layman's terms so that you can understand what he is talking about. First of all he treats NOT ONLY the patient, but the whole family as well. He believes that if the family knows about the disease, the family can be more supportive, the more knowledgable they are. He also believes that it takes three important ingredients to the wellness of his patients. First of all the patient must believe in himself, then in his medical doctor and most important in a higher being. If one of these ingredients is missing it won't work, If you are interested in speaking with my oncologist Dr. Hugues Bellevue you can reach him at:from U.S.A. 011-52-664-680-2155. Tell him Renee gave you his number. He will spend hours on the phone or in person answering your many questions. His hospital is located in Playas de Tijuana, Mex Baja California. Dr. Bellevue speaks English, Spanish, and his native language from Haitti French. You can reach me at rladyofthewind@yahoo.com, my name is Renee

I would say the earlier the cancer is detected, the better the chance of survival. I was diagnosed with breast cancer and finished treatment about 6 months ago. So far so good. When I was diagnosed, I was between a Stage 2 and Stage 3. My tumor was a Grade 3 or something like that. It was growing very rapidly and was aggressive. I had just turned 39 when it was diagnosed, but I believe it first came on while I was 38. Fortunately, I just had to go through chemo and radiation. I had surgery, but only a lumpectomy, so nothing is noticeable. I believe they have advanced a lot since a while back, so mortality rates are lower. It is not the death sentence people used to think it was. So, to sum it up, I can vouch for one survivor... me =)

You need to be clear that when talking about cancer survival rates, five-year or ten-year survival is most commonly used. So that when you hear a certain percentage of breast cancer patients ‘survive’ it means they live for five or ten years after diagnosis, not that they live cancer-free into a ripe old age - though they might and hopefully will. A common misconception is to treat survival rates as ‘cure’ rates. There are very few types of cancer for which the five-year survival rate effectively represents a cure rate. For the vast majority of cancers survival rates continue to fall beyond five years after diagnosis, most notably breast cancer, where survival rates continue to decline more than twenty years after diagnosis. Survival rates beyond five years have been improving for more than 20 years, probably due to increased breast awareness, earlier detection and improved treatment. Current ten year survival statistics for people diagnosed with primary breast cancer (ie no spread to other parts of the body) are between 20% and 89%, breaking down as follows: For small early breast cancers , between 70% and 89% live for 10 years after diagnosis. Between 70 - 78% in the following situations live for at least 10 years after diagnosis A cancer smaller than 2cm, low grade, with cancer in 4 or more lymph nodes A cancer smaller than 2cm, intermediate grade, with cancer in 1, 2 or 3 lymph nodes Cancer between 2 and 7cm, low grade, with cancer in 1, 2, or 3 lymph nodes Cancer between 2 and 7cm, intermediate grade, with no cancer in the lymph nodes Between 50 - 64% in the following situations live for at least 10 years after diagnosis: A cancer smaller than 2cm, intermediate grade, with cancer in 4 or more lymph nodes A cancer smaller than 2cm, high grade, with cancer in 1, 2 or 3 lymph nodes Cancer between 2 and 7cm, low grade, with cancer in 4 or more lymph nodes Cancer between 2 and 7cm, intermediate grade, with cancer in 1, 2 or 3 lymph nodes Between 20 - 42% in the following situations live for at least 10 years after diagnosis: ·Cancer between 2 and 7cm, intermediate grade, with cancer in 4 or more lymph nodes ·Cancer between 2 and 7cm, high grade, with cancer in 1, 2 or 3 nodes ·Any size cancer in the breast, high grade, with cancer in 4 or more lymph nodes Where cancer has already spread to another part of the body at diagnosis, the cancer is not curable , but may be controlled for some time with the right treatment. About 20% live for at least five years after their diagnosis. But only about 4% will live for more than 10 years. Remember that no statistics can tell you for sure what will happen to an individual. The same type of cancer can grow at different rates in different people.
