My mum was diagnosed with breast cancer on Christmas Eve. Unfortunately it's a grade 3 and has spread to some of her nodes. She's had several tests now to see if it has metastasised as the dr says that he will not perform the mastectomy if it has. We have gone from being upset at the thought of her losing her breast to hoping that thus will happen. I love my mum dearly and hate to see her so afraid and distressed. Just trying my best to give her the live an support that she has given me over the years. Stumbled across this site, never posted on a chat in my life but have been blown Away by the stories of bravery and courage and by the compassion that I have witnessed x
