  • Hello Lvw

    I'm sorry to hear that your Mum has been diagnosed with breast cancer. It's understandable that you're feeling scared after hearing this news. It's never easy when a loved one is told they have cancer but it sounds from your post as if the hospital has your Mum's treatment plan in hand. 

    There's some information on our website for family, friends and caregivers that you may find helpful to have a read through. You might also find it helpful to have a chat with one of our team of nurses. I know they will be happy to listen and offer you any advice and reassurance they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Hopefully your Mum won't have to wait too long for her surgery date and things will progress smoothly. Do keep in touch Lvw and let us know how you're both doing. 

    Best wishes,
