My mother-in-law is in her 80s and just diagnosed with breast cancer that has spread. She has 4-6 months left. We just finished moving her across the country from the only place she's ever lived in her life, to a few miles down the road from us in assisted living. When going through all her meds with her oncologist, he picked out the likely cause of the cancer. She had a hysterectomy when she was in her early 30s. Her PCP was still prescribing estrogen and she was still taking it - in her 80s. First, I hate that there is a generation that seems to find anyone with a medical degree infallible and follows them without question, but also that someone would be prescribing this for a woman of her age.
