Hi
Thanks for writing in.
Your mom has stage III disease with many lymph nodes positive. Though you have not mentioned the grade of tumor, age of your mother and any CT scan findings, we can still somewhat predict the outcome.
5 yr survival without chemotherapy-40%
5 yr survival with chemotherapy- 60%
