My mom was diagnosed with hepatitis B in November 2016. She had a mastectomy in December 2016 and is now going through chemo FECx3 and DOCEx3, 6 cycles total, with her 3rd cycle coming up next week. The doctors suggested starting hepatitis B treatment alongside the surgery. What kind of treatment or meds would she need, and what's the prognosis looking like?
