&lt;p&gt;She isn&amp;#39;t afraid of the operation to remove the rest of her lymph nodes but of the results approx a week later, which we are all dreading.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How will we cope if she gets bad results - it will be so hard not to break down in front of her and this will not make her feel any better.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have been practising in my head how I will deal with bad news but as you know nothing prepared you for the real thing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My husband is away with work today for a week so it is going to be mad trying to get the kids organised&amp;nbsp;going to the hospital.&amp;nbsp; Mum says not to worry about going to see her but I just could not go, Seeing her helps me as much as it helps her IYKWIM.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Right better sign off and get dinner on.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;She was diagnosed with breast cancer through route screening and had her left breast removed approx 2 weeks later.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They removed 3 lymph nodes at this time and we got the devestating news about 10 days ago that there was cancer there also.&amp;nbsp; She is hoping to go into hospital 5 October to have the rest of her lymph nodes removed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I just don&amp;#39;t know what is going to happen if there is cancer in the rest of them.&amp;nbsp; How are we going to cope?&amp;nbsp; What is going to happen?&amp;nbsp; What does this mean?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I just feel lost.&lt;/p&gt;
