Sigh....I don't even know where to begin....I have been kind of MIA the past few weeks (commenting here and there)....I posted several weeks ago that my Mom had found a lump in her breast, well it turns out it was cancer. So, in a matter of days they had my Mom lined up for surgery to have a double mastectomy. I went up for her surgery and stayed with her and my Dad for about 6 days to help (DS came with, which was an awesome distraction for my Mom!). I think when everything happened it was easy to pretend it wasn't happening until I actually saw her after the surgery and realized it really was happening...my Mom really does have cancer, but by that point I was with my Mom and Dad and I didn't want to totally break down in front of them because they needed me (my Mom is breaking down at least 4 or 5 times a day as it is).....I held everything in, so much so that Saturday morning I almost passed out (long story short, we had to do some stuff with my Mom's bandages and she was screaming in pain), so last night when I got home I just burst into tears and have basically been crying since.....I don't even know how to put into words what I am feeling.....and I can't even begin to think about the fact that my Mom tested positive for a gene mutation, which means I will be getting tested and have some huge decisions to make in the next few years. It breaks my heart to see my Mom going through this and I know the surgery recovery will be the worst of it and that any pain she is in right now is better than the other option (her doing nothing).....I'm suppose to go back up there for a few days the end of this week/weekend to make them Thanksgiving dinner and help out some more, so I feel like I need to get everything I have in me out in the next 2 days....I really don't expect any comments back or anything I really, truly just needed to get some of this out....thanks for those of you who read my rambling.

I have no profound words of wisdom, just want to say that I am so sorry you're going through this. I cannot imagine...T and P's for you and your family.

Hugs to you. I remember my mom dealing with breast cancer (I was in high school). It really is hard to see the people who are supposed to take care of you in pain. We see our parents as so strong, so to see them weak and hurting is heart wrenching. Thoughts and prayers for your family.

I'm sorry you're going through this. I have cancer and actually just had surgery to remove part of my breast and some skin on my ribs. It is overwhelming especially with an infant. If you need to talk feel free to PM me.

I'm so sorry to hear about this, watching a loved one battle cancer is so rough. I hope your mom has a speedy recovery, and that your test yields good news. I just sent up a prayer for you and your family, and I'll be thinking of you.
