Can anyone help me out please ? Will my mum receive more treatment after scan results?

My mum was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer in spine and pelvis few months back. She's had 3 rounds of gemcarbo chemo not the day 8 because was to much for her. she will be having a scan in a couple weeks to see how it's working. Im just worried about what will happen once this chemo had finished will they offer her more ? They have said about radiotherapy. Has anyone else been in a situation like this ? She's only 55 I'm in my early thirties IV got a brother and we are close we lost our dad when I was 14 and I'm just worrying all the time what will happen.

  • Hi Winniethepooh,

    A very warm welcome to our forum.

    I am so sorry to hear that you lost your dad at such a young age and can understand how anxious you are about your mum's treatment.

    I expect that the answer to your question is that it all depends upon what her scan shows. I sincerely hope that it indicates that the chemo has worked for your mum. 

    Please keep in touch and let us know how she gets on. We are always here for both of you.

    Kind regards,
