How long can you live with breast cancer untreated?

I saw a documentary that mentioned untreated breast cancer, and it made me wonder. If someone has breast cancer and doesn't get any treatment, how long can they typically survive?

Life is precious, and we must do everything to protect it. While staying positive helps, please do not leave breast cancer untreated; seek medical guidance immediately to let your body heal.

I know how terrifying the thought of chemotherapy or surgery is, which makes you want to avoid treatment altogether. But ignoring it will only cause more pain later, so please find a supportive doctor to help you through this.

A good vegetarian diet rich in antioxidants supports your body, but it absolutely cannot cure breast cancer on its own. Please do not skip medical treatment in favor of diet plans; medical intervention is essential.

Leaving breast cancer untreated is extremely risky and can significantly shorten lifespan, often spreading to other organs within a few years. Get an oncologist's opinion immediately to discuss treatment timelines.

From what I have read, untreated breast cancer progresses at different rates, but it almost always reduces life expectancy severely compared to those who get treated. Early detection and therapy make a massive difference.
