most helpful answer i'm sorry to hear of your mother's cancer but am happy to learn it was discovered early and had not spread elsewhere in her body. that is very good news! when you ask "will she do ok " i think you mean "will she survive? " it's impossible to answer that question. when a person gets cancer there is always a chance of it spreading or returning whether or not they receive additional treatment like chemotherapy. your mother is not very elderly at age 75 but it sounds like she has made a choice in favor of quality of life. this is certainly her decision to make. you can give your mom peace of mind by being very supportive of her choice. do not feel if the cancer returns that she made a 'mistake' by opting out of chemotherapy. having the drug treatment may not have kept any future cancer away anyway. enjoy the time you have together now and try not to worry too much about what tomorrow holds. your mother may outlive us all! wishing you and your mother well.
