My Mum just got diagnosed

Hi Bele,

My mum has been diagnosed with breast cancer too, her chemo starts soon as well. I don't know if it's mutual but I feel incredibly agitated, angry and frustrated. I've been getting mum small gifts and spending more time together, doing things she enjoys and making sure to sit with her and go over the information given, it's helped a little bit. 

Hi Bele24,  so sorry your Mum has been diagnosed with breast cancer.  I would imagine she is still dealing with the news and is in shock, as you all are.  Give her time and she will start to accept it and get her head around it all.  Once she knows her treatment plan and has her first chemo she will find it a bit easier to cope with.  Just be there for her and support her as best as you can.  Just having someone to listen and talk too really helps.  Little treats mean so much as well.  I wish her all the very best for her treatments and the courage to get through it.  Also to you, well done for wanting to be there for her.  You both will get through this.  Sending hugs to you both xx
