What Is The Survival Rate For Breast Cancer?
I have a friend who had triple negative breast, now it has spread to her brain. The doctor's removed the tumor and found that there was more swelling and placed a drain in her head. They also did chemotherapy only to find that the treament was not working. Long story short her husband stopped all treament. What is the survival rate with no treatment?

Welcome to health care magic.
Sorry what your friend is going through.
Its all individal creteria how long one can live, depending on the immunity status and involved sysyems.
literature says average of 5 years ( but its average some can be 1 year some 10 years) So exactly no one can say, the treating doctor with patients reports and conditin awareness - doctor can give approximate possible time.
Support her morally give her strenght - that will give some more time. Good luck.
