Thank you, @socoda for your kind words :)
i have to agree with you about the random acts of kindness. What a beautiful guesture that the women made for you. It's nice to know someone actually cares and are supportive even though they are stranger. How I see it, every woman or man who has or is suffering from beast cancer is family. You all need to stick together to support one another :)
i have spoken to the cancer council and they are fantastic! They sent out some awesome information books where mum and I read together. It explains the whole process better than the doctors as I seem to find they are in a rush.
I think counselling will be good for her.
Also, UPDATE: mum had got her results back from recent ct scans and bone tests and the cancer has not spread. **whooo happy dance**
she is keen to start treatment and kick cancers butt!
