What does it mean if my mother can't take chemotherapy for her stage 2 breast cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anti hormone rx: Most post-menopausal women are not treated with chemorx for breast cancer. It is used for the 15% of these women who are not hormone sensitive to the anti-hormone treatments, such as tamoxifen. So, your mother will probably be treated hormonally. Her doctor and oncologist can explain. Good luck to you both.
