Hi Dencol,

Welcome to Cancer Chat,

I am so sorry to hear about your Mum’s breast cancer. Waiting for results is always a scary time. Life is never fair and your Mum’s circumstances certainly show this. She must have had a hard time with your Nan and with her grandson, so it does seem very unfair that she is now facing this diagnosis.

Do I take it that you have been doing a lot of research on the Internet? I hope that you are only looking at bone fide sites like Cancer Research, which will give you accurate information. Sadly not everything on the Internet is well-researched or accurate and it is easy to frighten yourself with some of this.

Try to support her as best you can. Let her know how much you love her. Help out with housework, as she is possibly finding this a chore at present. Ironing and cooking are other chores that you could help out with.

Has she been told when she will get her biopsy results? I hope that it’s not much longer, as every day feels like a lifetime at this stage.

Do keep in touch and remember that there is always someone here for you whenever you feel like talking.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
