    My mother had to run into breast cancer as well.....but my first reaction was.....: "Ok... now what happens then?" She had to go through chemo and the whole radiation therapy thing, even lost her hair which was pretty tough on her. Yet I never for a second had a doubt she'd pull through, and she did. I don't know why actually, I just never gave in to that, and neither did she, it felt like that would be surrender and game over. There's just no room for that attitude in war....that's what is was really....fighting yourself and learning to trust yourself all over again.... at least that's what she told me.



    And about your question what do you do? Just be yourself and be there when you're needed, have the strength and courage to believe in the best outcome because that's the only thing worth going for. Aim for the best and make the best of your time together regardless of outcome, you both deserve that. Do a little extra now and again because she can probably use it, just to take the edge off of the bad days :)

      I wouldn't say that...if anything it helped me understand my mother for who she is a little better.....very strong-willed. And she got to understand me better for letting go of the details and insignifant little details in life once in a while. In effect that just helped us understand one another a little better. The best situation is just what you make of it, not how dumbshit lucky someone is because someone who is dumbshit lucky and still makes the best of it would still come out on top....

    You keep your head up, be strong and supportive for your Mom AND yourself. I lost my Mom to cancer on December 7, 2010. She was a 20 year breast cancer survivor, but then she had a tumor in her liver, and it spread to her pancreas, spleen, and lungs. She only had one round of chemo. The week prior to Thanksgiving, she was doing better, so I went back home, went back to work, and kept in touch with my brothers, who stayed there in the hospital with our Mom. Then, she went from being very talkative, to nothing. She was making plans for us to go on vacation, she was setting goals for what she wanted to do as soon as she got out...and she began her dance on the streets of gold at 1:17 pm. She couldn't even talk, but she could hear us. She opened her eyes one last time. She looked at my younger brother, my older brother, then at me, smiling as she knew her journey here on earth was over. She was ready to go to Heaven. God answered our prayers, but not the ways we wanted - or expected - for that matter. He took her cancer away from her. And, as badly as we wanted her here with us, I guess in a way, you can say that we was selfish, I don't know, but it was what was best for HER and not for US. I will keep you, your Mom, and your entire family in my daily prayers.

    You should take pride in your strength; many as young as you, seeing the a sign of the end for our loved ones that we all face some day, would withdraw and hide. Thank you for sharing with us! -- A piece of advice I was given: enjoy every moment you can with her, but take time to prepare, legal paperwork and such. When the end comes, it comes much too swiftly.

    ALL YOU CAN DO IS PRAY AND BE THERE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN BE-GIVE YOUR MOTHER ALL THE SUPPORT YOU CAN-CHERISH THE TIME YOU SPEND WITH YOUR MOTHER-BUT YET YOU HAVE TO MAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF-TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF-THE MOST PRECIOUS GIFTS ARE LIFE AND HEALTH

    Be supportive. Your mom is the same person she always was. She's just as scared as you are about dying. My dad was diagnosed 6 years ago and given 3 months to live. Then 6 months. Then 1 year. After 3 years, they just stopped guessing a timeline. I imagine what it would be like to be in his shoes, always wondering, always fearing. He doesn't talk about it with us. I think he mostly wants to enjoy his time left and not constantly rehash the status of his disease. I can't blame him; I wouldn't either. So we just talk about normal life and live our lives as if its all peachy. It's not denial since we're all well aware. It's just acceptance of the things we can and cannot change. I don't know the details of your relationship with your mom, but I would encourage you to try and see the situation through her eyes. That sort of understanding goes a long way. Best of luck.

    No one really knows if this will end badly for you mom or if she will make a recovery, but you will survive, and she needs you during these years. If anything, try to regrow that bond you had with her, and always "try" to stay positive no matter what if you want to feel sane. I've been in your situation at a young age as well.
