" I have breast cancer..."

I am sorry to hear about your mum as well. I was 52 when diagnosed, and telling my 4 adult children was really hard, but their support for me was fantastic. I am now 4 years post diagnosis, and I am doing really well. I have had a double mastectomy, chemo and reconstruction, and everything is now good. I am on an oral medication daily for another 7 years as my cancer was hormone receptive, but it doesn't cause me any grief. Be there for your mum and help out where possible. As soon as you have more information it will become easier to process. If possible go with your mum to all her appointments, as it is really hard to remember everything when faced with a Cancer diagnosis. Either my husband or daughter came with me to every appointment and it really helped. Sometimes there were questions they would think of that wouldn't even occur to me because I was in this awful cancer bubble. Good luck with everything with your mum. Maybe she will join this site for support as well. I have found it to be of great help to me over the years. Love Chris xx
