I'm getting ready to go out-of-state to be with my mom. She's 79, and is having a mastectomy on one side. She had a lumpectomy on the same side about 20 years ago, but I'm really nervous about this one. She has three small lesions in different areas of the breast, and it's a slow-growing cancer, so that doesn't really worry me. I'm more worried about her going through such major surgery at her age. Especially because historically she has trouble with anesthesia.
