Best Tip

If your mother will allow it, go with her to her doctor's visits. He can discuss her treatment and prognosis with you. Often breast cancer is treated with the removal of surrounding lymph nodes. It's not unusual, nor is it indicative of a poor prognosis. If your mother is comfortable with the doctor who's treating her, trust in what he says and avoid succumbing to the gloom and doom thought pattern that is often falsely associated with the concept of cancer. She doesn't need to see that from the people around her.

You need to go to a support group where you can talk and they will LISTEN...........i went through this with my mother-in-law and it was tough!!!!!!!!! It was awful, actually...........so if you can i would also go to counseling ..................i am sooo very sorry that you are going through this.......please get someone to talk to before you get sick!!!!!!!!!!! good luck
i'm so sorry to hear that; i hope things get better for u & ur mom soon. have u tried any support groups? ask next time u go to the hospital so u'll have ppl who know exactly what u're going thru. i'll keep u in my prayers.
My aunt had her breasts and lymphnodes removed over 15 years ago and has been cancer free ever since. My dad has a terminal cancer now so I understand your worry. I go to a cancer treatment center when I need to talk there are many support groups for the families of people with cancer check your local hospital of cancer center. God bless and try not to stress you need to be healthy for your mom. She needs you strong right now.
My best friends mom (ive known for 13 years) was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was stage 2. She went through radiation and chemo treatments. It was a long and difficult process. Her daughter was very upset through this time and is very natural to.
Her mother has been cancer free for 7 years now.
From what I understand when cancer reaches the lymthnodes it is very difficult to get rid of. I am not for sure so please dont panic.
I do hope things go well for your mother. It is best to be by her side through this. I know it will be very difficult road for the both of you but I wish you all the best. I will keep you all in my prayers.
Please contact your local cancer center and ask them for information on group meeting or other resources to help you with you difficulties right now they are out there just need to ask and find them. Your mom doesn't even have to know if you do not want her too.
no matter what anyone says, this is still not going to be easy for you, sweetheart. you have to just stay strong. i want you to think about it this way... you mother is the one who has cancer. imagine what she is going through right now. not only is she dealing with the pain, but she also has to think about so many other things, such as how it is affecting you. when your mom sees you down in the dumps, making yourself sick with worry, i guarantee it only makes things much worse for her. yoiu need to be the strong one in the situation. after all this time that she has taken care of you, now it is your turn to be the one to hold it all together and take care of her. you have to be positive, or else it will only cause her to see things negatively. it's your time now... you do what you know you need to do. and of course you will need some time for yourself to be upset about it and get the tears out... so i'll tell you what... this is my email address.. katierhodes87@yahoo.com.... use it. send me an email anytime you have something you want to talk about or cry about. i will be here to listen. in the mean time, take care of your mother.... God Bless.
