Im 16 and my mother has been diagnosed
Hi all,
My mother (35) was diagnosed with breast cancer yesterday. She noticed a lump in her breast which she got tested immediately. They told her there was nothing to worry about. 7 months later...
@sumha so scary for u u poor thing. I would advise that if your mum is happy to take you to her appointments you write a large list of questions so someone can answer them for u. Treatment options differ so much and there is no one size fits all. She will most likely see a surgeon and oncologist and they will advise the best course of treatment. Most women who get breast cancer actually don’t have a family history - I didn’t when I was diagnosed at the start of this year at the age of 43 which is still considered “young”. Just remember we are all here to support you. This is the toughest time unfortunately when u r just diagnosed and before you get a treatment plan. The waiting and uncertainty is horrible. Big hugs xo
