Hi all this is on behalf of my mother..I’m a 6 year survivor…she is 77 years & had lumpestcomy no lymph node involvement & approx 3 cm lump they said all got out but it was a grade 3 ..she goes to see the oncologist tomorrow we’re hoping radiotherapy & no chemo but on the form they have asked her if she gets sea sick now they also asked me this & I had chemo but mine was in the nodes …is this just a general question on a generic form or do you think it means chemo …we’re worried

Hi Cloverfield1
Treatment recommendations depend on a number of factors. The grade and size of tumour will come into it, but also what receptors (if any) your mum’s cancer has. If chemo might help, the oncologist should go through risks and benefits. She can ask them to take her through her Predict score, which shows outcomes for people in the past who have been in similar situations. Ultimately it is always your mum’s decision and obviously her overall health will be a factor in deciding whether to have any offered treatments.
