Hi Cxxxx, sorry to hear that your mum has breast cancer. My mum had to have a lumpectomy in her 80's and also had radiotherapy. She sailed through it, just found going every day very tiring. She had 15 sessions, just on weekdays. I myself went through radiotherapy in December and also found going everyday a bit tiring. The radiotherapy itself is quite quick and is painless. They advise you on creams for any skin reactions and are very reassuring. I'm sure your mum will be very well looked after. My mum and myself both take letrazole and only side effects have been a few aching joints. I wish your mum well moving forward. Xx
