Brief Answer:
Hello. Prognosis is not good

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear.
I have gone through the details.

So now its a stage 4 disease and complete cure is not possible. Only the life can be prolonged and quality of life can be added. Treatment will depend upon the hormone and her2 marker status of tumor. Usually patients survive from 1 to 5 years.

Thanks and regards
