Hello
My mother recently got diagnosed with Breast Cancer:
Stage IIA
Sentinel Lymph node: Not involved
Size: 2.8 cm
Histopathlogic Grade III
Estrogen Receptors : Negative (no estrogen therapy)
Her 2 : Results not available yet
Margins: Clear
Metastasis: No evidence of any metastasis (CT scan/MRI/ultrasound)
She recently had a modified masectomy.
She is a 65 year old, otherwise, healthy woman. We are debating
whether chemotherapy would do her more harm than good. Given than she
is 65, we are concerned that chemotherapy would irreversibly harm her
health.
Can someone point me to any good research sources/papers on this
subect.
Thanks
Tom
