Is breast cancer deadly?

My sister's friend is undergoing treatment for breast cancer, and seeing her struggle makes me very sad. It feels like such a scary disease. I just want to understand how serious it truly is.

Haan na, if people ignore lumps out of fear, it becomes very dangerous. It is only deadly if we don't visit the doctor on time.

It can be life-threatening if diagnosed in very advanced stages. But with modern therapies and early mammograms, the survival rates are actually very high now.

Don't scare yourself thinking it is a dead end. Yes, it is serious, but we have amazing doctors and treatments now, so just focus on getting regular screenings done.

While it remains a leading cause of health complications in women globally, calling it outright 'deadly' ignores how successfully we treat it today when caught early.
