I am sure you are going to be a great support for your Mum.My doctors Mum just had a mastectomy and she is 86! She came through it with flying colorsI loved your comment about the care package;). Has your Mum read it yet?All the best to your Mum,and please let us know how she gets on.There must be many older ladies on here that we don't get to hear about because their families are doing such a great job of caring for them:) And yes,I totally agree with you,why shouldn't screening be continued on indefinitely? It is probably based on percentages and what age is the highest risk.Take care.xoxoRobyn.
