Rather than scaling back on treatment for BC, age 73, but
why is nobody I can locate thus far advocating for older women? I had the lumpectomy 3 days ago, with a couple of lymph nodes, etc, but on first meeting with the Surgeon I was dismayed at what felt like dismissal.
I am reasonably fit, very healthy; I eat well, we travel overseas, and I am doing rehab for a Reverse Shoulder Replacement. My mental Health is excellent.
Why can I not be treated with the same respect I would expect at 63? 60? Mid 50`s? My life is important too: at least to me and my family!
