Hello my mother was newly diagnosed with breast cancer today and is having a Mastectomy in three weeks time which i think is a long time to wait ..they found two cancerous lumps in her left breast and that is all i have been told ..i dont know what stage it is , if its invasive ...will she need chemo etc etc ...

I live with my mother who is also disabled having had polio as a child and im really struggling to understand any of it and what will happen and to be honest im absolutely terrified ...

my mother does not want to talk about it which i understand but i need to talk to somebody ..

thanks in advance for any replies
