Moms been diagnosed with breast cancer today

[Star2015]

... Following a routine mammogram last week.

No signs or illness.

Due to the Christmas break she has got to eat until first week of December to see the surgeon / specialist to discuss having her breast removed and treatment.

What now??

How do we get through Christmas?

Just wanted to say you will get through it.

My mum was diagnosed 8 years ago. She had symptoms and it was a double tumour- one hidden behind another. She had a mastectomy and tamoxifen but no other treatment and it never re-occurred. Try and think positively. Easier said than done but they found it early- no symptoms at all. That is the best time to find it.

Thanks Lulu for your response.. We survived Christmas as best we could (with many thoughts as to what we will have been through by the time the next one comes).. Just got new year to come now Xx

And you will get through that too. You will. I so hope everything goes well for your mum next year.

Thanks so much Xx

Star how are you and your mum?
I came across your thread whilst searching for answers... My mum has just told me this evening that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer too.
I hope you are all doing ok xx

Hi Star and beady,
