My mum just broke the news to me today she has breast cancer. I instantly went in a shock and bawled my eyes out. I had never ever expected to hear that news because she is a very fit and healthy lady who goes to gym 4/5 days a weeks and has a lot of energy. Plus no history of cancer in our family. She mentioned that they have taken some biopsy of her breast for futher investigation. And they will be telling us the result by the end of this week, what stage of cancer she has. I feel abosulately scared, petrified, depressed and worried finding out the results, (almost feels like my heart will go into small pieces after hearing the news). I know my mum is also very worried and has been feeling depressed, under a lot of stress coming to this term. She also mentioned to me she hasn't slept well for past few days. I feel like she has almost given her hopes up because of this illness and I want to be there for her and stay strong for her. She has been going to work even with all the stress she is under, to get her mind off this illness but i feel like its going to affect her health even more. What can i do to ressure her, and make her feel better? and will things go worse for her? , can she still improve from this illness and her health?
any suggestions or any chats can be helpfull to me
thankyou
