Hi.
I think you are asking this in view of her old age. I need to know the hormonal status and patients condition for best opinion. Surgery is most important, whenever feasible. Hormonal therapy will work only if it is hormone receptor positive. We can discuss this further alongwith these reports.

Please share the reports for further advise. If she is fit, surgery may be considered upfront depending on fitness, otherwise may also start with chemo.
