My mom got diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer and liver cancer in December 2018. 6 months of chemo which was horrible but now in feb 2020 the liver tumours have shrunk n so has 2 breast. But stil that doesn't take away the question why. No family history, none smoker or none drinker. Just why. No one can provide me with the answer and I've come to terms with it now. I live every day with her like it's my last. I wish id have done this years ago and it hadn't took this for me to realise. Theres no answer to why. I just wanted to put that out there incase anyone else is feeling the same.
Hi and welcome to the online community
I'm very sorry to hear about your mom's diagnosis but that's great news that her tumours have shrunk.
It's only natural to wonder why your mom has cancer and you might find this information from Cancer Research on causes of cancer and how to reduce your risk helpful.
