Treatment over age 70
Hi, I'm new here and wondering if anyone has any information on treatment for women over 70. My mother has invasive ductal carcinoma, HER2 positive, ER positive, PR negative. She is 72 years old and also suffers from rheumatoid arthritis, COPD and osteoporosis. She had a lumpectomy a few weeks ago and we are scheduled to meet with her oncologist on December 8. My family is afraid that chemo will kill her because of her age and her other diseases. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. We are very scared.
