Hi bex ..

Your not alone ... we are all in shock when we get diagnosed ... it turns everything upside down .. and the word future is replaced with a question mark ...

But saying that, ever since I've been diagnosed with a grade 3 breast cancer, I now live in the day .. l take every day as a bonus ... none of us, well or with cancer knows if we have tomorrow ... I'm taking time to make as many memories as I can for those I love .. as hard as it is, live every day your mum gets .. pack lots of good memories in whatever the future holds ... cancer wants us to lay down and give up and spend our time in panic ... it won't be easy .. but my daughter in law said to me and my son .. no more "what ifs" no more panicking. . Well take every problem as and when it comes up, and we'll all do this together"  and it made me realise , not to look into the future .. live in the day .. and there's a few on here who's pushing their diagnosis way further then they were given ..

Is there things your mum likes doing .. something she still wants to do or go .. share tears .. hugs... and say all what's in your heart and hers .. even though some things are hard to hear .. admit your scared .. but do it all together ... sending you both a big hug ...  I'm 14 months post mastectomy and doing o.k .. so we can push those boundaries ..
