Karima Re: Newbie intro/ , my mom had a rectal tumor removed last August. She turned down the radiation as they said this would affect how she felt more (she was 84 years old) but she did the chemo. That took a bit longer than planned as she had some health problems during that time, not all chemo related, she had cataract surgery, had to stop chemo for a bit, she had a heart catheritization, had breathing problems, (she has COPD) and was in intensive care for awhile, so they stop chemo while she was doing these other things. Her last chemo was in late June, she is doing ok, still rather tired, but she is 85 now. Just wanted you to know an 85 year old made it through the chemo and she's pretty frail. ~~Dianna Wilkins montemomma2002@...> wrote:Thanks Donnel, He has an appointment with the oncologist in 2 weeks.Im trying to learn as much as I can before then.Whatever he decides Im there for him!
