Hey C C K
Lovely to hear from you but sad to know you and your family have joined the bumpy roller coaster ride.
I was the same age as your mum when diagnosed nealy 12 months ago now and my daughter the same age as yourself at the time. It did hit us, my hubby and all the rest of our families very hard. To top it off my daughter had also found a lump about the same time I was diagnosed but she didn't tell me because she didn't want to worry me at the time. She had an ultrasound and has been told it is hormonal but I will make sure she keeps a good check on it. She is now 7 months pregnant so her mind is on other things and so are mine. Hearing the news she was expecting was the best possible incentive for me to get well that anyone could ask for. PS: I not telling you to go out and get pregnant by the way hee hee.
I hear what you say about people saying "the wrong thing or maybe just not saying the right thing" BUT at a time like this it is very hard to find the right words to make someone feel better about the whole thing cause that is impossible to find the words to make it all better..
My daughter came to all my appointments, my chemo's and she saw me through a number of rough times after my chemo's. She was my rock and I was and I am very proud of her which I am sure your mum is extremely proud of you. It is good to hear that you will be there for your mum like my daughter was for me.
This site is a great site for venting at any time you need to either for yourself or for your mum. We will be here to lend an ear (so to speak :-).
Wishing your mum a nice smooth road on her journey and I know it feels like this time will never end but it will. Just a shame that any of us have to travel the BC road.
Good luck to you and your family.
Mich xoxo
