The majority of people I know that have had to get a biopsy have it come back as benign (includes my mother).
But on the flip-side, my grandmother developed breast cancer and had a masectomy done. They didn't get it all and it traveled to her brain and the doctors eventually had to take her eye out. She passed away a year after. During that year, she was in so much pain she was on all kind of pain killers (that didn't really help) and my aunt even got her to try smoking some pot to help (it didn't either). It was pretty ugly.
Anyways: It could go either way (but most likely it will be treatable), so you have to stay positive (for yourself and your friend)
All the best for both of you.
