[quote=Anonymous]I spent 18 weeks in chemo for breast cancer alongside women in their mid 30s up to women in their 80s. There are a lot of treatments that have been developed for breast cancer, and there are a lot of side effect mitigating treatments your oncology team will help your mom with every step of the way. I would just advise not to pre-decide the course until you have a meeting with your mom’s oncologist. It’s too hard to say “I would never” without knowing what your options are, and I can tell you in the world of breast cancer treatment there are many options. You can also quit chemo if it’s too tough. You can choose to “only” do radiation if it will help mitigate the cancer spread for a time and make her more comfortable. These are all decisions your mom will have to make and it sounds like she has a great ally with you by her side. [/quote]
