Sorry to hear about the diagnose. The good news is that I personally know and have also read about major successes with cancer treatments in the past 10 years.
Your wife’s oncologist should have access to the latest treatments.

My ex-wife is having Breast Surgery today. She had to have a cancerous cyst removed surgically and receive radium treatments to follow up!
She's already back home, and will be staying with my daughter for a couple of weeks, and all is OK so far!
My younger sister died of Breast Cancer 5 years ago, that was not caught in time!
You and your wife's entire family and friends have my sympathy!

I am so sorry. I lost a good friend to breast cancer. My advice is cut 'em off and don't do chemo/radiation.
Maybe that new immunotherapy, but I can't vouch for that.
They can cut them off and she can get new ones. I know it will never be the same, but she'll still be there.
My friend is no longer here. I used to could ask her about girly questions. She was so sweet.
I hope they found it early. My Oncologist was Dr. Max Rabinowitz if you are staying in AK for treatment, he is excellent. If she needs a surgeon Dr. Marilyn Sanford. I am a 17 year survivor this year and I owe my life to these people. Best of luck to the both of you.

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear this. Best wishes to her for a speedy recovery.
I am sorry to hear this, my wife went through it a few years ago. PM me if you want to talk.

So sorry to hear that.
My mother got breast cancer back in the early 90's. She had her breast removed and the chemo treatments and they said they got it all.
6 years ago it returned and quickly turned into stage 4. It is also in her bone (hip/leg), small spots in her liver and lungs (she never smoked).
Being too old for traditional chemo, they put her on Ibrance (chemo pill) and injections every 3 months. Just 2 months ago, they took her off
the Ibrance and started a new injection regiment of 2 shots every 2 weeks for 3 sessions, and now every 3 months.
Despite the stage 4 cancer, she has no pain and can get around without trouble. She lives alone and can still take care of herself and her finances.
She will be 96 in 2 weeks.
Wishing your wife all the best, and make sure you discuss all your treatment options that have become available with your Dr.

I wish she, and you, see it cured and that she returns to a healthy and long life.

That's a bummer to be sure, but cancer treatments have come on leaps and bounds in the last few years. What stage is she at?

Don’t know yet. In lymph nodes though.

Known and known of several women that had this. All cured. Still scary.
I had a stroke 19 years ago, knocked me on my ass. You’d never know it seeing me now.
Told the Mrs. this is her big thing now.

The 5-year survival rate for breast cancer that hasn’t reached nearby lymph nodes is 99 percent versus 86 percent when it has. But as a dentist with medical training I'm sure you know all that already.
