Never do you want this call

OK. Mom just called. It's cancer. They have her going to do a total body scan next Tuesday to check for other growths. It is the size of your fingers put together excluding your palm.
DOc will let her know if she is having Chemo before or after the surgery. I feel devastated. She is trying so hard to be strong. I know she feels alone. I am going home next week even if for a couple of days. I need to be there for her, even if I am still on crutches with this damn ankle.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Girl, you've got my thoughts and prayers. Please know I am sending ehugs your way and prayers for you and your mom.

Keep your chin up. This doc just saved your mom's life and it will all be okay. Take it one day at a time - my mom survived breast cancer twice. Both my sisters - once. It can be done and if I can help in any way, even though we haven't met, I'm here for you.

I left some love on your machine.

Try to stay positive. MANY women survive this, and if your mom is anything like you (strong and determined), she'll be fine.

Please let me know if you need anything!

I've just started reading your blog and looks like its a bad time for you and your family.
Hopfully your mum will be in the early stages and the doctor has done a good job spotting the cancer early.
I've known a few people that have made a full recovery and I hope that happens with your mum.
