My 83 year old Mum has just been diagnosed with stage II breast cancer, eostrogen receptor and HER2.  She isn't in the best of health, suffering from bronchiectasis so has a persistent chesty cough.  She has been advised chemo, lumpectomy or total mastectomy and chemo as options but she does not want either of these and has opted to start Anastrazole.  My daughter and both both in nursing profession but feel that she would be so ill with the chemo that we support her decision.  We are going to see Consultant again next week to discuss the options again, I feel that Mum is just overwhelmed and as she lives with me and my husband I just want to support her through this shock.
