I lost my Dad May 2019 to a brain tumor at 66 My mother (59)called me last night to tell me following a routine mammogram couple weeks ago, she has been to hospital for biopsy and MRI scan. She tells me that they are 80% sure it's cancer.
Not sure why she said 80% as Dads team were never this clear especially on his life expectancy.
My mother is a strange egg, I live 300 miles away,where she is living with hubby no 5 and hiding her drink in the loft and garden. she didn't phone me on my Birthday again. It's a one sided relationship, but I just can't cope with being the "mummy" on this one. I am eldest of 3 my little brother is 18 in April.
Hi, sorry to hear cancer might be again visiting your family.
From what you say I read that it is not totally clear your mother has cancer and I would guess from your description of following a mammogram that it would be breast cancer so quite different to your dad.
I know when my mum was ill my eldest sister would often take the lead in our family and I was the youngest but then I was about 45 with a son and wife of my own.
Whatever happens I hope you find some answers that helps you feel ok.
<<hugs>>
Steve
