Triple negative breast cancer, pacemaker

2019-05-01 08:17:25
My mother has undergone single mastectomy with triple negative breast cancer, stage 2, invasive ductal carcinoma with 1lymph node metastasis on left side. She is type 2diabetic, has pacemaker implantation, hypothyroidism, hypertension, and takes antidepressants, also she has irritable bowel syndrome. Now the doctor has recommended 8chemo. We don't want her to go for that, as her body won't tolerate it because of fragile heart and multiple problems. Is there any any way to prevent the recurrence as TNBC is aggressive as said by everyone. Please suggest what to do in this complicated situation with my ailing mother.

Can you please share the entire histopathology report before I comment any further. I would also request you to share your doctors prescription, what are the doses of medicines he has advised, that may be reduced to reduce the side effects
