Hello Dr Thakwani, My mother was diagnosed to have breast cancer (Right- mucous carcinoma), the FNAC suggested. When consulted with the surgical oncologist, he suggested to get total mastectomy with axillary dissection. A PET-CT scan was done at 5
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Sorry to hear about your mother. She had breast cancer.  It was just stage 1 cancer without lymph node or distant metastasis.  Her surgical margin and base are free from tumor.  So chances of death due to cancer itself is very rare.  But she may have some complications after surgery.  Pulmonary embolism or some other complications can lead to sudden death.  Sorry for her but this can happen sometimes.  Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
