Thank you, ***** ***** not have chemo after breast removed
Customer: replied 9 months ago.
I can’t see what help chemo will do now
Customer: replied 9 months ago.
That’s why I need your opinion, she is 43 with two little girls lost over 2 stone been sick etc

I am extremely sorry to know about the metastasis/spread in the bones and liver.

Chemotherapy, unfortunately, may not do anything significant. And there may be severe side effects affecting the quality of life.

Hormonal treatment may have a small role and lesser side effect (which you may discuss with her oncologist).
