Just posting to say hello. I'm new here. My mother called me
yesterday and told me she has breast cancer. She has had it for at
least 3 years, unchecked and untreated until now. She said she has a
biopsy on thursday and then she will start chemo to try and shrink
it before they try and remove it. It is a really large tumor, really
large. I lost my father in law about 4 years ago to cancer but this
just isn't the same. My mom is all I have and I can't imagine my
life without her. I want to help her and be supportive to her but I
am not yet sure how to deal with this myself much less how to help
her deal with it. I feel so selfish for worrying about how i feel.
I'm just looking for somewhere to go to talk and share what is going
on and what I am feeling. Somewhere where people have been in my
situation and can maybe help me through it because right now i am
going insaine. thanks for listening.
