This is a very interesting story, Tom! I think you truthfully saved your mom's life by being aggressive yourself. It has been my experience, being "elderly" (I hate that word! Elderly means someone 10 years older than I am!) that doctors assume if you are over 65 you don't need aggressive treatment because you will die sooner or later anyway and why get aggressive. My heart doctor seems to think that way. Luckily my oncologist has known me for the 20 years I've been fighting cancer, and was aggressive in treating me this time with herceptin and chemo. Thank you for sharing and best wishes to your mom! TriciaK
