My mom has heart failure, is she can handle the surgery?
hi good day everyone beautiful mom's!
Im not old, but why i am here? I just found this forum searchibg all over the internet, overnight , i cant sleep im confused. I am 25 years old and i love my mother, last year june, my mother she found out that there is something unusual feeling on her breast.. Its like a small bump. She told thia to us and we told her to go to a good hospital for checkup. She went and they scheduled for her mammogram, they saw that there is ome tumor on her left breast and small cyst on her right breast which ia not cancerous from what i know. For the tumor it is very solid and the doctor told us that there is posaibility it can be cancerous because of what it looks. And now im confused and scared, im not scared because if she will get breast cancer if its the finding once she will arrange for biopsy. What i am getting scared is she cannot handle the operation once the doctor said she needs operation to get rid off the tumor. My mother is having a serious heart problem since she was a kid. And it became more severe now when she got older. She is now 59, i want the tumor to be removed if its cancerous but im afraid if she cannot handle the operation, because what doctor said she will need to be injected with general aenestesia. Please if there is anyone who has any experience on what my problem is please send me any message or comment here. Godbless to all the mothers here and thank you for the love.

She needs to be seen by a cardiologist and by an anesthesiologist, together they will decide if she can tolerate the surgery and what kind of anesthesia can be used.
But first things first it needs to be biopsied using Ultrasound and they will use the same numbing material used by dentists, a local injection in the tissues of the breast not general anesthesia. Her cardiologist needs to know about that too.
One step at a time.

hi ...
My mom already had core biopsy
They found out that she is having cancer.
So we are all sad and afraid. But what we are wondring is they dont know what stage. They telling to my mom have a surgery first then we can tell you what stage.
Second the problem is she went to cardio and all test for her clearance for operation and they saw some issues on her heart.

Yes.that is correct. They can only guess at the stage until they get the mass out and send it to the lab. After that the oncologist will determine her treatment
