My mum has been diagnosed with breast cancer for the third time.  She had it in her left breast 10 years ago, treated by lumpectomy and radiotherapy.  she had a different more aggressive type in her right breast 6 years ago treated by lumpectomy and chemo.  The cancer has recurred in her left breast (diagnosed 10 years to the day).  The oncologist has said “it won’t kill her” but she cannot have radiotherapy again in. The same site.  They are talking about her needing a mastectomy. This is was all discovered after she fell and shattered her shoulder.  They also need to double check her bones. They had said it was osteoporosis but need to reassess following a confirmed diagnosis of cancer in the breast.  Last  night she was saying she had always said if it came back she wouldn’t have any treatment. She was saying she doesn’t want to have a mastectomy.  I’m terrified she is going to refuse treatment
