Hello, lovely people. 

 I am currently 22 years old and had to face my mother's cancer diagnosis in late August. I was miserable, since we are very close and connected and I can't imagine her leaving me yet. 

 She's undergone a surgery in September and although her prognosis seems quite good (hormone positive, low mitotic rate, one one micrometastasis in her sentinel lymph node - stage 1B) I am so scared for her. She's 60 years old and since she's postmenopausal woman her doctor said that the chemotherapy is not necessary - she had oNcotype DX test done and her score was 6 (which means no apparent benefit from chemotherapy), the risk of distant metastases in the next 9 year is said to be 11%. I know there's 89% chance that she's healthy, but I am so anxious, because I've seen my aunt dying from breast cancer when I was younger and I wouldn't be able to watch my mother go through this, because I love her too much. 

She's getting hormone therapy and biphosphonates and that's all. I know now would be the time to feel relieved, but I am not and I don't think she is either. I am so anxious and going through such a weird period in my life. What should I do, because I am scared of those 11 percents... And I also don't know how should I be with her, what to say... I am a student in a medical feild and try to explain everything to her, want her to be positive... But I think she's just as terrified as I am, even though she says she knows it's going to be fine.
