      Stage: IV (M1)

      My fraternal grandma is 96 and has end-stage breast cancer. She adopted me when I was just 2-months old. My dad died in 1989 with copd. My and my 12 and 18 yr old daughters take of her. She is all I know and this is one of the most difficult things I have ever had to do.

      Treatments

      Arimidex Working / Worked
      It slowed it down for almost a year but it had already matastasized (I think I spelled that right)
      Mastectomy Working / Worked
      she had a double and it had spread to her lymph nodes when it was found.
      Radiotherapy Working / Worked
      It worked. When they pustules started popping out on her skin it dried them up really well
