Hi, I am so sorry to hear of your devastating news. I figured something was wrong tonight and have asked my Mum, she has been completely honest with me and explained that she has been visiting her GP after finding a lump. She has been for a biopsy today and said she is going in 2 days for more information/results. Having read lots of forums I am now doubting this and I'm questioning is it even worse than she has told me, is it possible to get results in 2 days?!? I am heart broken and beyond speechless, I couldn't imagine living life without her. My Grandad, her father has just passed away and we are attempting to cope with his loss, She is so strong and I know deep down not coping with the loss. As always she is happy go lucky, helping everyone else but herself and I want to be strong for her. As I'm sure you are, I am truly speechless. I can't even comprehend the possibilities, I feel so helpless as I know I don't even know the full diagnosis/ results yet but I can't help but think the worse. Sorry to rant I just need to get it out. Although I am 21yold I've cried all evening in her arms and I couldn't let her go. I've got an amazing Dad, sisters and family but Mum is the rock. I don't know what to do. I don't want Thursday to arrive because I don't know what I will do if it is the worst. xxx My Mum has asked that I keep strong for now until we find out more. I just love her so deeply, I can't imagine my life without her, I'm 21 years old I can't even begin to explain I want to be strong for her and everyone else but can't even cope with the possibilties.

Hi, I'm so sorry to hear you're worrying too, it's horrible. Like you, my mum is my absolute best friend and it would kill me if anything happened too her. I'm very much like that, wondering if my mum is holding stuff back from me because she wants to protect me, but In my head I feel like I'm going mad with worry about worst case scenarios etc. They are very quick on things like this, mums gotta go back in 2 weeks to speak to a consultant about treatment options. Sounds like you're having a really rough time at the moment and I really do feel for you :(. I feel like the wind has really been taken out of me and that something is missing, then the next minute I feel like everything's going to be fine, then I'm angry at everyone and everything. It's a horrible rollercoaster of emotions. But mum being mum, she's still smiling and laughing and joking, and true to herself has told me to stop worrying. But how can you stop when you love someone so much? I'm just waiting for the 23rd when we find out about it. Feels like a life time away. I'm 23 years old, and an only child. My mum has been my rock through some really hard times, and we've been through some horrible things together which makes our bond feel even stronger, which is making this that bit more hard. Like you, she's my rock. And it's ok to rant, I felt like I needed too as well hence the original post. I just feel so alone. And I'm hurting because I don't even want to imagine the upset and pain my mum will probably be feeling xxx
