My mum was diagnosed with breast cancer 8 months ago it was the worst time of my life as she is my best friend. Shes been an absolute warrior and has had surgery and Radiotherapy and is awaiting a mammogram to see if its clear or not so shes doing amazingly well now but the subject is still very raw.

I went to the doctors last Monday as ive found a lump in my breast and thickening, (im 29 years old) the words from the doctor were 'there is some tenderness when i touch it which is a positive otherwise id be worried' so im not hopeful! I cant tell that it moves its quite deep within the breast but my appointment at the breast clinic is on Friday (2 days time) and I havent told my mum yet becuase shell be devastated im telling her tomorrow becuase I need her to babysit my little 4 year old boy while I go to the appointment! Another reason im beside myself, me and my little boy absolutely idolise each other and the thought of having this is killing me for his sake, we would both be lost without each other.

I just dont know how to feel and how to continually be strong if it is ther worst outcome I just dont want to know. WIll I be told on Friday? my mum asked at her appointment and told her there and then im hoping they do the same for me the waiting is horrendous.

Thank you
