JLI - It is difficult to give you a good answer, because there are more factors that influences this. A very rough estimate of 10 year survival of a 55 years old patient (in otherwise good health) with a small (less than 2 cm) tumour is about 85%. It is higher if the tumour is ER-positive and grade 1.
Denisedds - As I have explained to you before this is something that your doctor should have discussed with you and survival is determined by stage, grade, your hormone receptor status and your age. Basically what Jili has told you.
ChemoAngel - Your chances are just as good as anyone else's. For example. My father had stage 3 Breast Cancer and he is a 14 year survivor. My cousin had stage 4 Breast Cancer and she is going on 3 years now. You should be just fine.
