Brief Answer:
Hello. Prognosis depends upon marker status

Detailed Answer:
Hello again.

I have seen the reports..she has now a stage 4 disease. Her prognosis will depend upon ER PR HER2 MARKER status. For this a biopsy from tumor is required and these marker tests are carried out on it. If marker are positive, then patient can survive 3 to 4 years. If negative, then prognosis is poor.

Thanks and regards
