It would depend on the treatment you choose. Also what type of breast cancer you have. If you do nothing, the cancer will grow and shorten the life span. With treatment , and there are several options, you can live a long normal life. I am a 2x breastcancer Survivor, 65 years old and presently in good health. I had stage 1 very aggressive adenocacinoma , receptor negative, and chose aggressive treatment, mastectomy and chemo therapy, I was 54 at the time. 3 years later I had DCIS in the other breast, a different primary cancer not a spread cancer, stage 0, I chose lumpectomy, chemo and radiation. There are no guaranties for the cancer not returning, but vigilant check ups , blood work and talking to your doctor is a must.
The American Cancer Society has a very good web site with chat rooms where you openly can discuss everything and ask questions in detail.

Is breast cancer possible for men?
Yes, breast cancer is possible for men, although it is much less common than in women. Male breast cancer occurs when malignant cells form in the breast tissue of a man. While breast cancer is often associated with women, men also have a small amount of breast tissue, which means they can develop breast cancer too. The symptoms of breast cancer in men are similar to those in women and can include: A lump or swelling in the breast or under the arm. Nipple discharge, which may be bloody. Changes in the size or shape of the breast. Skin dimpling or puckering. Redness or scaling of the nipple or breast skin. Men with a family history of breast cancer or who have inherited gene mutations such as BRCA1 or BRCA2 are at higher risk. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging tests (like mammograms or ultrasounds), and biopsy for confirmation. Treatment for male breast cancer often involves surgery to remove the tumor and possibly lymph nodes, followed by radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, or targeted therapy depending on the stage and characteristics of the cancer. Early detection and prompt treatment can improve outcomes for men with breast cancer.
