Evening to all. My mom was diagnosed with a breast cancer just over a year ago and had mastectomy. Last month she told me that they found metastasis in her liver and today she got confirmed that she's got it in her bones. She lives in Moscow and I haven't seen her for 15 months now but after recent news coming to visit her in a couple of weeks.
She's trying to be strong for me as I'm expecting a baby and I'm doing the same for her and just not sure if we are doing a right think as feels like we hide the truth from each other And just creating the ideal world where she's gonna be fine in no time.
Its was hard to hear her telling me today about cancer spreading in her bones and I couldn't keep from crying so had to face the camera on my son and just pretend that I was eating. At least Aaron kept her entertained.
I'm getting really worried that I wouldn't be able to keep myself on the right level and have a breakdown in front of her when we come to visit but the idea that we going to see her actually keeps me positive.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
