My mum has currently had 12 cycles of chemo and has 2 left after having to abandon 2 of the Red Devil as it was making her too poorly. Her latest pet scan and biopsy show that she has active cancer cells in the lymph nodes of her armpits now. The surgeon stated it’s fine and he’ll just go in and snip them out. I’m a nurse by background and that change in her health has sent me spiralling. How do I control it. I’m the eldest of my mums kids with my sister being 21. I’ve found my own lump in my breast, had an ultra sound and a biopsy tomorrow but I can’t talk to my mum about it. I feel as though I’m losing a griP on reality and feel as though I’m actually going mad but I have no idea how to control this. I’m TERRIFIED of losing my mom that I think I’m putting misled through the grief cycle now. Any help would be appreciated please.
