My aunts father is 75 and has completed treatment for Hodgkin's disease last year. It is very good, and regrets, not with chemotherapy. I was diagnosed with lymphoma in December and has a great person to talk to and have been discussed.
He said he would take the treatment, despite his age, because she has too much living and not sit and wait until he knew something that he could get to die.
If your mother wants to undergo treatment that will be your decision, you need all the support they can get during the chemotherapy. They must be encouraged to defeat this disease. Without treatment, not another 3-5 years with him, who knows might live?
Honestly, depends on the rest of his health. Their reality is not age itself, which makes chemotherapy a problem. It is the fact that most people in this age group for health problems other than the effect of treatment.
The completely your choice to receive treatment or not. I understand that you are worried, but the * decision. But it is here ... if it does not receive treatment, which will surely die. With treatment, she has a chance at life. Even with the treatment of dying is a fact that he would die without him.
* What do you if you are sure you know all about your cancer and treatment will have to do, and the potential treatment of any disadvantages. Then, when it sticks to its decision, the best thing we can do is support their decision. You want to see in May to join support groups. It is very difficult for them, and the rest of the family, and harder to know who her guardian. A support group can help to treat all with him in a healthy way.
In fact, I have a good friend (a sort of unofficial) has my mother, whose mother is 77 years, comes for Hodgkin's lymphoma, chemotherapy, and no evidence exists for a disease.
Courage, non-Hodgkin's much easier to handle and non-Hodgkin's battle. The adoption is high enough.
His mother is very tired, for one week after each treatment, and is a significant amount of pain, but who is required is responsible for drug control through careful monitoring.
I know it's scary, but it will be very satisfied not satisfied with your mother with this treatment ... and the results.
Best wishes to you all.
Each case is different and the doctors, and they must make a decision. I know they are very worried. Who will improve if he wants to try to live, who argue that the chemotherapy is terrible, but it is possible that many years if you try there. My stepmother is a very rare form of cancer, and I understand their concern. There are support groups for parents of PPL chemotherapy. Take care, and time will tell. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can say, here is a definitive answer.
My mother was 62, when she was diagnosed with lymphoma, threw chemo and radiation treatments, she was often sick and slept a lot, but moved into being summoned. Each case is different and everyone has a different treatment, but the best for the disease.
Good luck.
My prayers are with you.

She has the right to try to live longer, but his age is in any case against him. It is possible that she cares about you, and you'll be good when it happens, but the odds are definitely against it. Good luck to you.
Good for the mother.
My neighbor is treated, are over 80 years and very active.
