Hi my 79 year old mom found a lump early November which has been diagnosed as stage 3 invasive ductal carcinoma, Her2 positive, she was told by cancer nurses she'd have a lumpectomy & radiotherapy - after seeing her surgeon she's now been advised to have chemo prior to surgery to try to shrink the tumour & reduce risk in case it's gone anywhere elesr and chemo & radiotherapy after.  She.  She's decided to go along with this but is understandably very concerned about how she'll cope with the chemo, my dad has prostate cancer and isn't as mobile as he used to be.  I'm making plans to move in to support them both throughout her treatment.  It's feeling like we're all in a nightmare at the moment.
