There have been significant advances in the treatment of breast cancer. The earlier it is found and treated, the greater the chance of survival. I hope your relative comes through okay.

The answer to this is not as simple as 'yes they do'. I fear that all the fluffy pink campaigning has lulled people into thinking that breast cancer is a less serious cancer, easily treatable and no longer fatal.
In fact breast cancer is a deadly disease with, so far, no cure; it can return at any time, even years later, and in the UK alone an average of 33 women die from it every day.
Survival rates vary enormously according to stage, grade etc.
When doctors talk of survival rates, they are talking about five or ten year survival rates.
A recent research figure is 72% of women diagnosed with invasive breast cancer will live for at least 10 years after their diagnosis. Figures include all women who have had breast cancer and are still alive after that period, including those whose cancer has returned and those who are terminally ill.
Around 90% of women diagnosed with stage I breast cancer survive beyond five years. This drops to around 10% diagnosed with stage 4.
I
I know one woman who is still here after 18 years. Another friend died two weeks ago only 18 months after diagnosis.
Although there are no guarantees, the outlook is good for people whose breast cancer is caught early. Cancer is an unpredictable disease, and even when breast cancer is found late and is aggressive treatment results can be good (as in my case).

well if shes getting chemo ,. hope she is well, cuz chemo helps alot, she might survive if she gets the right treatment, just pray to god she lives

You have to know the stage of her disease to guess at the chances for survival.
Here is data from http://www.imaginis.com/breasthealth/staging.asp
Breast Cancer Survival Rate by Stage
"Health care professionals are able to be predict a patient’s survival rate based on the determined stage of breast cancer. The following chart is an approximate survival rate for each stage of breast cancer. Percentages will vary depending on individual medical situations, etc."
Stage 5-year RelativeSurvival Rate
0 100%
I 100%
IIA 92%
IIB 81%
IIIA 67%
IIIB 54%
IV 20%
This site also shows how breast cancer are staged. You might ask your family member what her disease has been stages as. This should have been explained to your family member by her medical oncologist.
Other factors are the age of the person and receptor patterns in the primary tumor. We don't have any of this crucial information. Her oncologist has this information.

I was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer in May 2004 and am alive and kicking. My sister was diagnosed 14 years ago and is doing well. My aunt has had it twice and is doing well.
My friend is a 7 year survivor and my sister in law is a 4 year survivor.
