Mother has been diagnosed with Breast Cancer and is refusing treatment due to her mental Health

Hi

 

My mother suffers mental health issues and has been recently diagnosed with Breast cancer.  She is refusing treatment as she feels that it will do more harm than good.

 

Just don’t know what to do next, I plan on seeing her GP to discuss this but was just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like this.
