Hi all,
My mum has just been diagnosed with Breast cancer. She first found the lump 2 weeks ago and was sent to the hospital for tests where they found a second lump. We have found out today that it has spread to the lymph nodes and an operation is set for the 16th September. I'm not really sure what I'm trying to say to be honest as I feel that I'm sounding selfish as it's my mum going through it. There are so many questions I want to ask her but am scared of coming over as insensitive as she must be going through hell. My mum is my best friend and means the absolute world to me and I suppose all I want is someone to put their arms round me and tell me she is going to be ok. I'm sorry for sounding so negative but i'm finding being positive so hard at the moment, this is the first (and hopefully the last) time someone so close has been affected by cancer. Thanks to everyone for reading this

I'm sorry your mum has been diagnosed with breast cancer, my daughter was also too frightened at first to ask me anything in case she upset me, but I also didn't want to worry her with all the details, being a mum you want to shield your precious children, things are still pretty raw for you both at the moment, but I did appreciate my daughter coming to the pre-assesment for my surgery, she also bought my toiletries etc. which was lovely, she had put a lot of thought into things, you're mum would also be over the moon whatever you do,she knows you love her, take care and I hope everything goes ok next week xxx viv xx
