Hi,
My mum was diagnosed with Breast cancer yesterday. She is having a MRI next week to determine whether she will need the whole breast removed or just a lump and to see if the cancer has spread. Apparently it is the fast acting one however they have caught it early. She has also been told she will need to have chemo and radiotherapy.
My mum is superwoman and I am positive she can get through this however I am so incredibly terrified. Not just at the thought of her dying but I am scared of the amount of pain both emotional and physical she will have to endure, particularly during chemo.
She is so strong but I know she won’t be able to cope unless I can hold it together too, so I can’t talk to her about my fears and my brother is acting as if nothing is even happening.
Can anyone offer any advise as to how to get through this?
