Our Mom’s Fight Against Colorectal Cancer

Oh, No! Not Grandma too!

:(  Grams was diagnosed with breast cancer last week.  She had a small lump removed 8 years ago and we thought she was in the clear but she had a “smudge” on her annual mammagram.  Luckily her doctors followed up on it, did a MRI and took a biopsy.  It came back as cancer so we are waiting for her to meet with the surgeon on the 30th.  It sounds like they are leaning towards at least a mastectomy, but possibly a double.  I’m hoping they choose, or recommend that Grams gets the double mastectomy because she is 76 now and I don’t want this to return again.  What if it comes back and she is too weak to undergo surgery like in her late 80’s?  We should know more after the 30th.  She really doesn’t want to have to have any chemotherapy so hopefully that isn’t part of her treatment!  Good luck Grams!
