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...
Hi and welcome. Just know that even though your Mum has a lymph node involved it doesn't mean her cancer isn't treatable. My niece was your Mum's age, with very young children. Out of 20 nodes removed, 10 had cancer. But following treatment she has remained well 16 years on. Her baby just turned 18 and she plans on a full and long life. It's scary yes. But there is hope. Keep us up to date and ask away as you know more. At this stage the guessing what might happen just makes us more anxious. Focus on each step at a time. Kath x
