Never thought it would happen to my mother.

Soo hello everyone... My mother was diagnosed with stage one breast cancer about a month ago and the past weeks have been scary/sad. I'm only a 15 year old teen but I want to know further about the cancer and treatments so here's my story..... So it was about a month ago my mOm found a lump and told me about it she wasn't worried and thought it was nothing and went to go get a mammogram. At this point I was just worried but didint think anything about it. The next day my mom got a call and the doctor said they see something you need to come in to have a biopsy. Now at this point was when I was scared to hear what would happen next. So they did a biopsy then about a week later the doctor called and I happen to be in the same room my mom was in and he said You have cancer. And that's when I felt really light headed and couldn't believe it it seemed like everything was quiet and it was just me I felt so light headed I didint know what was happening I was sad for my mom I just went to my room and cried. My mother went to the doctor the next day and she told me they were talking about the options they would do to help her to take out the cancer I was at school and it seemed like nothing else mattered I don't remember anything that day at school. So the next day my mom wa talking to me and then she told me that she loved me ...... I cried...... But I wanted to stay strong... It was then next week that she said to me she was going to get a double macectomy.. And then she left for work.. I was wondering what is a macectomy I didint know so I looked it up on the Internet and I said wow my mom is a strong woman. 2 weeks later my mom went through with the surgery. After school I went to the hospital to visit my mom but when I started to walk in the hospital i felt very light headed I was scared to see what was next and I began saying why me God why me my moms a good person I felt like everything was. Getting darker each step I took to her room at the hospital I can't explain the feeling I have. But I saw my mom in pain and I cried again but I never cry in front of my mom I want to stay strong . So a week later she left the hospital and she's at home laying in bed in pain and I was very happy to see her home but she was in pain. So next week or I can say today I heard that she is going through chemo and I'm scared for what the future holds

But until then I pray that everything will be better. Because I can honestly say I love my mom.

Joseshawn,

You are a wonderful son and I am sure that you are light of your mother's life.  It's great that you posted here -you can learn alot about treatments, etc.  The surgical pain will get better.  And chemo isn't fun, but it is doable.  I was able to work out every day during treatment and work part time.  Your mom can do this - she is going to be OK.  Just keep telling her that you love her and help her out at home.
