Hi Biblio,

A very warm welcome to our forum, although I'm sorry to hear why you have joined. I have been through the situation that you are in with my own mum and, know just how worrying this can be. Sadly, we lost mum to secondary cancer after 12 years. I have since had 2 bouts of breast cancer myself and, have seen how much diagnosis, treatment and aftercare have improved in the interim.

Your mum is fortunate to have you to support her, as this is something that she will treasure. It can be a lonely journey on your own.

Although you may not feel so at the moment, it is good news that a routine mammogram has picked this up and that there is no spread via the lymph nodes. It sounds as if she has caught this early, which is the reason for having mammograms. Instead of dyingwith breast cancer, many people are now living with it. I was very scared at first and concerned about what would happen to my family. Since then I have seen both of my children go to university, graduate, find gainful employment , get married andhave families of their own.

I was fortunate that both of my cancers were caught early and hadn't spread to the lymph nodes either. I now lead a different life than I envisaged, but It is still a busy and fulfilled one.

I hope that your mum will be able to do the same. Have you been given a date for the biopsy results yet? Please let us know when you hear. In the meantime, please remember that we are always here for both of you.

Hoping and praying for good news.

Kind regards,
Jolamine xx
