Sorry to hear about your mother's health issues. For some reason, a lot of your posts aren't showing up on my f-list. When I saw this one I went back and looked and there were a whole slew of them. :-/
At any rate, I'm glad to hear that the cancer is slow growing, and that her surgery went well. If she had a mastectomy, I'm guessing no radiation? Will they put her on tamoxifen or something similar? I went through this 2 years ago (stage 1a, slow-growing - unusual for my age, radiation, and now tamoxifen) so if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Really glad to hear she probably won't have to do chemo. I'm guessing if her cancer is ER positive they can do an oncotype and give her a recurrance score. Hopefully it will be nice and low and she can skip chemo. I'll keep my fingers crossed her lymph nodes are clean. Sounds like they likely will be. Best wishes.
