Hello everyone . My mum who’s only 52 has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. I’m mid 20’s myself and an only child still trying to get my head around what’s just happened the past few days.
I know the word cancer but when it’s YOUR MUM it changes everyone especially the family dynamic. My mum and dad have been married for 35 years and have worked so hard like everyone else for what they have. I have a great relationship with both parents and are lucky to have them.
Me, mum and my dad were sitting in London waiting for results , all laughing smiling as we thought it would be oh it’s fatty tissue. To be told “ Unfortunately you have breast cancer” words I never thought I would hear. My mum switching off and my dad looking at me thinking “ what do we do?”
We’ve got to go back to London for more biopsy’s as more might be found. I’m trying to be strong and be supportive to my mum (god knows what she’s thinking) I don’t know how to cope because I know I need to look after myself and keep powering through.
many people who have gone through cancer or family members or friends I can only send my love to you all because this is a horrible feeling .
surgery is a must but until we wait for more results if it has spread elsewhere we do not know more than that.
I feel like I need to talk to someone I am so angry , confused , exhausted.
thank you . My prayers and thoughts are with everyone
