Hi everyone

I'm new to this website. Never thought I'd end up here as I've always thought of myself as being fortunate to not have any close family or friends diagnosed with cancer. I realise now that it was very naive of me.

I'm 29 years old and have just found out that my mum has been diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. All I can say is I'm absolutely distraught. My mum brought me up as a single parent and I'm an only child and it has always just been me and her (and my lovely cat Chloe who we tragically lost to cancer last year after 18 wonderful years). 

I left home a couple of years ago to move in with my now husband, and got married last year and just found out 3 weeks ago that we're expecting a baby. I speak to my mum 2-3 times a day and we tell each other everything, and I just cannot begin to imagine life without her. If she's not here, I don't want to be here. I can't stop crying and fearing the worst. I love her so much, she's the love of my life; my whole world. 

I know that stage 2 cancer is treatable, but she's having a CT and MRI scan on Wednesday and then she will get a treatment plan on Friday, which is great. It's all been so quick. But im just terrified that the MRI and CT scan will reveal something more and that the provisional stage 2 she has been given from her biopsy and other tests is going to be staged higher.

Please can anyone help. Anyone with any success stories as I could use some positivity whilst I anxiously wait til Friday. I feel like my whole world has fallen apart and the thought of my mum not being here when I have my first baby is tearing me apart.

Thank you x
