Hi everyone,
I'm not sure if daughters of those with parents affected with cancer are allowed to post, so I apologise if this isn't the correct place for me.
Last monday I found out that my mom's breast cancer had come back and spread. According to the reports it was stated that my mom has extensive chest involvment with a tumour in the lungs. The full title was thoracic lymphangitis carcinomatosis. I'm in my 20s and just feel utterly heart broken. I understand that my mom's life is likely to be shortened, but is it unrealistic to keep hope that she can live many years with this? Are there any individuals out there who have themselves, or have parents who are living relatively normal lives for many years with this cancer? I just don't want my mom to suffer and it's made my life feel so empty.
Thank you for any words you are able to provide.
