Suggest Treatment For Lump In The Breast Of An Elderly Person
My 96 year old mother in a nursing home has a lump in her breast and a red nipple. She does not want to have a mammogram and said years ago that she would not have another surgery. If we do nothing and it is cancer what might she go through? What should we do?
