My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was 13. She has a mastectomy and chemo after. She recovered. Now 13 years later , we just found out a couple of days ago it spread to her bones. It's in her sternum and spine. We are waiting for the biopsy results to figure out a plan and know the numbers etc.
She means everything to me. We are best friends, she's the person I tell everything too, we have a strong bond, so this is a lot for me to handle. I don't know what I would do with myself without her. I'm 7 months pregnant and I'm scared she will not be here to meet my son. I cry and I'm depressed but I don't let her see it. How do I cope with these feelings? I'm glad I'm older now because I understand what's going on and we have had conversations about it. She's told me her worries and I reassure her. My brothers don't know yet. One is 13 and she decided to tell him as we get more information on what's going to happen. The other is 18 and he's in college. He's coming down this coming weekend and we will tell him then. I need my brother! these days have been so hard by myself.
