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 Summer, my youngest daughter was your age when I was diagnosed with breast cancer and that was 15yrs ago
I’m fine now but with some minor ailments.Like the other ladies have said,your Mum won’t get her pathology until after tests and surgery.Try not to get ahead of yourself because the ‘what ifs’can do your head in.The waiting and unknown are the worst bits- I found it helps to stay really busy.At first it’s like a bad dream and you feel so anxious but once your Mum has a plan it’ll seem abit more tolerable.
The majority of women now survive Breast cancer and live a long life so try and hold onto that thought when you feel yourself slipping to the dark place.You sound like a wonderful,caring daughter so lots of hugs will help your mum for now.xx
