Mom has Breast Cancer
by JenniferKY1980 on 11/10/2007 at 11:26 pm in Supporters - Friends & FamilyOn 11-9-07 my Mother and Father came over and told me "we needed to talk"...I knew something was wrong. It is not a normal thing for my Mother to just go and get a Mammogram done (she'd never had one). I knew it was strange when she told me she had an appt to get one done, and I kept asking her about the results, but she never mention what was going on, until 11-9-07, she said she'd had a biopsy and it came back as Breast Cancer, and from that moment on I can't really remember everything she told me, all I can remember saying was "NO NO NO!" I can remember that she said the lumps(2) were the size of large jelly beans and that she will have surgery on 11-27-07 to find out what stage it is and if it had spread anywhere else, and that she would be going through Chemo soon after her surgery.
I'm still in somewhat of denial, I keep thinking this is nothing but a BAD dream, and I'm waiting to just wake up, although I know that's not going to happen.
Mother is a strong woman, rarely have I seen her sick, even the flu. I'm not sure how to help her or even what to say to her in these dreaded moments, all I know to do is keep telling her I love her and support her and Dad through everything.

I have a belief system that EVERYTHING happens for a reason, we may NOT ever know why bad things happen, but they're still for a reason. As for me, I'm fine, just trying to figure out what to do next and how to be a good supporter with my Mother and how to 'keep POSITIVE'. I'm finding 'saying postitve' is hard to do, but I tend to stay positive!!Mom is having her good days and her bad days. She's been complaining about pain, God I wish I could make it go away. She had her DR appointment on Tuesday, come to find out she has HER2+, I don't know a lot about it, but I do know it's agreesive, we'll find out if it's in her nodes and what stage it's in on November 27 2007, she then starts several weeks of radiation 2 weeks after surgery, then she'll go on to Chemo shortly there after (God, bless her). God, give her strength to get through this! I have refused to get 'angry' about this, as I figured anger doesn't help any, but hurts more. Although I'm saddened, I'm not angry.
