Potential Mets, not coping at all

I took my 59y/o mum to her bone scan today. She had stage 3 breast cancer 9 years ago and I thought I was going to lose her. Shes been on tamoxifen for 8 years and has bad pain in her spine hips and right shin. I'm terrified that its bone mets. I really am. I would be lost in this world without my mum. I have been crying for hours and cant stop.  I dont know what I'm asking really I just need to tell someone. My auntie ( dads sister ) died last year from bone mets and I cant stop thinking about her and then thinking of my mum.

  • Hi Merl and welcome to the forum.

    I'm really sorry about the pain your mum has been experiencing recently and can understand why you're worried but if you can try not to let your mind run away with you until you've found out the results of the scan.

    Hopefully some of our members will offer their support and advice to you soon but we're thinking of you Merl and will have our fingers crossed for good news.

    Best wishes to you both,
