Hi all

Just looking for some advice/support to support my Mum.  My very, very fit 80 year old Mum has just been diagnosed with BC.  She has a small stage 2 lump and has been giving Letrozole to take.  She has the option of a lumpectomy but She has been told that no surgery is happening for 3 months.  The Doctor and Support Nurse were both fairly evasive about why this was but we believe its because of Covid 19. We were both in shock at the diagnoise and I spent most of the session calming my Mum down and reassuring her that the Doctors where doing this for the best clinical reasons but in retrospect I am confused as to why there is this delay.

Mum is worried that Letrozole won't work and three months down the line the cancer will have grown and be harder to treat.   My question is:Are lumpetomy surgeries being stopped elsewhere around the country?

Thanks in advances for any support.
