HI Aimeex,

Welcome to this friendly forum. When cancer enters our lives, It creats a lot of uncertainty and emotions. I am sorry to hear about your mothers cancer but lets turn what they said to you upside down and look at it this way. There is a six in seven chance of it not spreading which to me sounds more positive than the way it has been put to you both. As to why you posted on here, It does help to talk to someone outside the circle of family and friends and especially people who know what a diagnosis of cancer means and the problems it brings.

Please keep in touch as and when you can, take care, best wishes to you and your mother, Brian.

This is my very first reply and this is my very first forum and l hope very much that your mum is going to be with you for a long time yet. I think what drew me to your post was that you are not the person suffering from cancer and that is the same for me. My husband has just been diagnosed with Myeloma literally a few weeks ago and what you said about things just becoming real hit home to me. I know just how you feel. One of the things that l feel strongly is , and l am ashamed to admit it, is that it is so very unfair. My husband is a good kind man, an excellent  father yet this has happened to him, when there are so many horrid evil people in this world walking about without a care. I know l have to work on not feeling this but it is hard. Anyway you and your mum are in my thoughts and l hope that things go as well for her as they possibly can.
