My parent's recently moved from South Jersey to Maine and were fortunate to find a wonderful oncologist ready to aggressivley and respectfully treat an elderly person. As fortune would have it a cancer treatment center just opened 20 minutes from their new home just before she was to begin her chemo. I look forward to hearing what you have to say in the future as the daughter of an elderly cancer patient and also as an elder law attorney and elder advocate. Julia Doctor Rosenbluth;

She had the test done in November and both the specialist who did the test and her family doctor failed to tell her that the test came back positive. The only reason she found out otherwise is that a family member who is a social worker went with her to see the doctor. The family doctor said he couldn't find the test results so the family member looked through her file and found the test. My grandmother then went for a second opinion and was advised they will need to remove one of her breasts and some lymph nodes as well. However they advised her she will not need further treatment as since she is quite elderly the cancer will not be as aggressive as it would be with a young person. Just wondered what your thoughts may be on this. Thank-you. My grandmother is 83 years old and has just found out she has breast cancer.
