Hi Gemma so sorry to hear about your Mum. I have a 30year old Daughter and beautiful granddaughter and another on the way. It was really hard to tell my daughter my diagnosis as her father had just been diagnosed with Oesophagus cancer so it was double wammy for her. She has support from her partner I hope you have support from other family members? There is no history of breast cancer in our family either so it was a shock when I was diagnosed. 

Please get all the support you can and maybe accompany your mam to appointments so you can hear what the treatment plan will be.

I was diagnosed after a routine mammogram with Stage 1 breast cancer I underwent a lumpectomy and lymph node removal on 3rd January. I received my results recently on 22nd Jan and it was pretty good news the lump was only 9.2mm and my lymph nodes were clear. I have started on letrozole hormone medication and will need a course of 5 radiotherapy. 

Breast cancer is very treatable if caught early so please try and stay positive and fingers crossed for your mum.

Feel free to message with any questions or a chat
