Hi, my mum has just undergone lumpectomy which was thankfully very successful. She is 69 years old and has been advised by a specialist that her tumour was so small that he would be comfortable if she decided that she did not wish to go through with radiotherapy so long as she continues to take her hormone treatment. She had prepared herself mentally for the treatment but now feels conflicted. She has been researching some stats regarding cancer returning following radiotherapy vs no radiotherapy and given all of the potential detrimental side effects is feeling that perhaps she would be more comfortable not opting for the treatment.
Would love to hear from others with similar experience or with any knowledge on the subject that could give us some friendly advice.
