Question
Hi, my mom is diagnosed with breast cancer stage 2b. She's having chemotheropy right now. I want to know can she be cured? Is the cancer going to come back?
Yes in this case she can and may be cured in which case her cancer will not come back. But unfortunately I can not promise that. So it may come back even after this treatment. Only time will tell. But her chances are better with this treatment. Good luck!
