My Mother has just been diagnosed with Breast Cancer

Hello.

I am in a state of shock hearing that my Mam has been diagnosed with Breast Cancer just this week,  When the words came out of her mouth it took a few minutes to sink in.  Then the tears came and the anger and the fear.  

My Mam and I are extremely close, she is 63 and I am 41.  I just cannot get my head round it all.  You always think it will never happen to you, yet here we are and its all very real....and I selfishly am terrified.

Im not sure if Im in the right place to vent, talk, seek advice, support, I hope I am.

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Karalou.

    I'm sorry to hear your mother has been diagnosed with breast cancer this week. It's true what you mentioned, cancer is something you think that will never happen to you or to those you love until it happens, then it hits you like nothing else. 

    A lot of people here will understand how you are feeling right now and I hope you'll soon get a chance to chat with them.

    And yes, you came to the right place, Karalou. Post, chat, vent as much as you need, we are here for you.

    Best wishes to your and your mother,

    Renata, Cancer Chat Moderator
