(20,640 posts)65. My mom was diagnosed at age 77. She underwent surgery, radiation, & chemo.
She is 85 today, and in so many ways, as strong as she ever was! Sees the oncologist on an annual basis, and has received a clean bill of health every single year.
She lost her own mother to the disease in her early 60s back in 1982, just to give an indication of how medical science has progressed over the years & decades.
Wishing you the very best in your treatment, and will continue to keep you in my thoughts.
