Mary, My father had his right breast removed about 15 years ago, underwent chemo for 3 months and has never had a reoccurance. He was 67 at the time. Pretty scarey for all of us, but he did fair well with the chemo. He was diagnosied with colon cancer 6 years ago, did chemo again but it has returned with a vengence. He just celebrated his 82nd birthday last month. Prayers and good wishes to your family.
