      Hi Linda

      My mam has been given some treatment options for her breast cancer which has come back and one of them is an op similar to the one which you have had. Can I ask you how old you are? My mum is 74 and been told they will take the muscle from her back and out it in her chest. They said it’s a big operation with comes with complications. She is very thin also which I worry. He other option are electro chemo and skin flap after that. She will k ow more next week from doctors but any advice from anyone is appreciated thank you
