Your Day

Ah so sorry to hear Exo, cancer is such a scary word we always automatically think of negative things but keep your chin up because if it has been caught early then the chances of even needing surgery are very slim. I'm sure your mum will be fine

. I've got my fingers and toes crossed!

My dog died last year and her death hurt me so so much (much more than anything I have ever experienced) which makes me realise how much I love my parents and how much I need them. I often think about them not being here and end up getting myself really upset. Which isn't very nice to be honest.

Shi man, that's awful. My mam died of cancer over 20 years ago now, and we were shocked she even had it. Never smoked a day in her life. I still miss her.

All you can do is be supportive to your mother and the rest of your family. Everyone will be either looking for someone to lean on now, or want to be the one everyone leans on. How are you in the family, I mean are you eldest, youngest, middle, what? It could be hard being the eldest as you have to shoulder most of the burden. I know that feeling, and it's not easy.

But keep your chin up. As you say, many people get cancer but recover just fine. At least they caught it at an early stage. I'm sure she'll be fine. I don't pray but I'll ask my sister to pray for her.

Keep strong man.

My mother has breast cancer.

It's very very early stage 1 and my dad who never bullshits us said that everything will be fine and that the most my mother will get is a month of radiation but I'm just so ****ing scared right now. My mother is in high spirits and I will be too but right now I think I'm in a little shock because I just spent a couple minutes crying which is something I just don't really ever do. I get choked up during movies and sad things but I don't usually cry.

I don't know how to handle this really. I know she'll be fine and that my worrying will be for nothing because cancer is something that people get and fight and since this is so early the realistic chance of something happening to my mom is so slim but I'm scared as **** right now.

I don't know what I'd do if I lost her.

Geez that's so terrible. Appreciate every moment with her, and the rest of your family. You're mum will be fine Exo, I promise you that

Oh no, sorry to hear that. I think the most important thing you can do is to just be there for your mother and support her as she goes through this. I'm happy to hear that it was detected early - that's a very good sign.

I'm so sorry to hear that Exo, I hope you are your family will be okay and that the treatment is successful. xxx

You WILL handle this at this time as it's not about you but her. Be there for her and be strong.

I wish your mom every success fella.

Thanks everybody. I wrote that post about a half hour after finding out so I was still a little upset. My family is very string. We always have been and always will be. This is just another obstacle that we'll get over. Like I said, it's very early stage one. I hope that cancer knows it's going to get an ass whooping.

Thanks for all the support. You guys are great. I mean that.

Damn man, I'm really sorry to hear that, but it's great that it sounds like they caught it fairly early and your family is fortunate to live in a state with some of the best health care in the country. My officemate's wife just went through a similar situation and you'll be happy to know that she's doing fine. Just stay positive and try to keep your mom positive. You'll definitely be in my thoughts.

Sorry to hear. If you need to look at it in a positive light, stage 1 is very treatable. Survival rates are very high. My GF won the fight with cancer last year, the only downside was the Peripheral Neuropathy (numbness in the hands/feet) from chemo treatments, which lingers for some time but usually eventually dissipates, and since your Mothers in stage 1, she'll likely get low-dose treatment, and not have to worry about losing her hair. It's a good thing she caught it early. Hoping for a full and speedy recovery.
