Hello Kerie,

I am so sorry to hear about your mother and I know how you feel right now, that's how I felt the first time I found out that she have a breast cancer, until now I am having a hard time to accept it but we have to leave everything to god now, all we have to do is to be with our mother, let her know that you will always be on her side no matter happen and try to show her that you are strong and always think positive and always assure to her that everything will be alright, always have faith...never give up

I will include you and your family on my prayers.

4evermymom,

It is okay to be scared...I have been in your situation before, all we have to do right now is to pray and have faith in god and trust me everything will turn out better.

All you have to do right now is to be with your mom's side and show her that she is the most important person in your life, she needs you...you have to show her that you are strong and everything will be fine.

I will include your mom in my prayers...just be strong and have faith always.

Hello Dalycity

Thank you for taking your time to send a message, yes definitely I will ask my sister to send me a copy of mom's pathology report and as of now I am learning what breast cancer is.

Again, thank you so much, I really appreciate for sending me that wonderful message, I feel little bit better right now.

I wish you and your family well and god bless always.

Dianne,

Thank you so much for taking your time to send a message, it means so much to me.

It's been four years now since I saw my mom and I am very close to her since I am the youngest I miss her terribly and I feel so bad that I cannot do anything to take care of her but you are right, she's in good hands with my siblings.

She will start her chemotheraphy next week and I am just hoping that she can handle the effect of it.

Again, thank you and I wish you and your family well....

Take care always

My mother just recently diagnosed with breast cancer

Hello everyone,

I just recently joined this forum, I am from the Philippines but I am currently residing in Long Island, New York, my mother , a 75 year old housewife who is in the Philippines and supposed to come here to visit me unfortunately during her medical check-up a month ago, the doctor found a big lump on her right breast and the nipple us push back, the doctor told her that the lump might be a tumor and needs to be remove as soon as possible, to cut the story short, her right breast was removed and was diagnosed with a stage 2 breast cancer.

I was so devastated to learn the news that my mother have a breast cancer because I don't know of anyone in our family who have a breast cancer or any type of cancer, most of them have heart problems and diabetes.

I am very close to my mom, I have 3 sisters and 2 brothers in the philippines, I am the youngest and I am the only one who is here in the US, it is hard for me to cope with this kind of situation, everyone is telling to go back home and see my mom, yes...I've been dying to go and visit her but I need to work hard here so I can help her with the treatment that she need and it is very expensive to go back home so I would rather send the money that I will use to go back.

Right now, it's been almost three weeks now since her operation, she is still recovering from her surgery and she is still weak and very fragile, next week we will find out what kind of chemotherapy she will have, I am praying that the doctor will give her the oral medication.

My mother is very scared and me and my siblings are also scared that the tumor might come back because the doctor told that they removed several lymp nodes around her breast and it is already in her bones.

Everyone is telling me that I have to accept her condition and just pray, yes...it is very easy to say that but it is hard to do.

My mother is such a gentle woman I've ever seen and have a soft heart, I just don't understand why her? I am very stress and very worried right now, is there anyone can tell me what can I do to feel better?

Thank you.

Malou
