My mum had breast cancer and had her left breast removed. The cancer had not reached her lymph nodes and the surgeon was certain the tumours had been removed. My mum had a course of radiotherapy just as a precaution. She finished the radiotherapy on the Thursday and on Saturday morning I found her dead at the bottom of the stairs. The post mortem came back as ischaemic heart disease . I have looked into studies on radiotherapy for breast cancer on the left side targeted towards the heart. Needless to say I am angry and have a lot of questions that need answering! My mum had high blood pressure that all parties concerned knew about. Why wasn't the heart monitored before radiotherapy? I am almost certain the radiotherapy caused sudden death. I shouldn't have lost my mum like this I'm only 39 my mum only 62 . I miss her so much
