She died about 3.5 years ago. Her treatments lasted 10 months. Thanks for asking.

My mother and grandmother both died of breast cancer. Grandmother never did treat hers and lived seven year. Mom had surgery and lived about the same amount of time but she was 95 when she died. I was not in favor of treatment when it was discovered because she was already in advanced years but I was overruled by other family members who wanted to treat her.

I was floored once when a friend told me her mom lived with breast cancer for 30 years and never treated it and then she died of complications of diabetes. I'm now 80 and do not do mammograms. I'm not stupid and I plan to die sometime of something. My husband treated rectal cancer with the whole regimen of treatment, which has been unbelievable. I was not necessarily opposed because the tumor was interfering with bodily functions but still, he's going to die of something---he's 84.

Sorry to hear that.
