So last week I posted about how my Mum may have breast cancer.
I have been a wreck since (not showing it around my Mum though) and last night my Mum said to me the exact words the nurse actually used were 'I'm sorry, it is cancer' Even though I'm not sure how she can say before the biopsy results come back on the 11th.
My Mum said she asked her 'Am I going to die?' and the nurse said 'No you aren't, we can treat this and this is why we have mammograms to catch things early'
Despite that in my head I just keep thinking what if its worse then they think, what if it spreads, what if it comes back and I can't shake the thoughts off.
Do you guys think the reason I can't get these thoughts out of my head is because I have anxiety? Because everyone else seems confident that she will beat this because it is so early but I'm just scared they will find out its further gone or some thing :-(
