NBR: I'm nervous about my mom

I just found out tonight my mom is being admitted tomorrow for a biopsy. She has a large mass in her chest blocking her windpipe and major artery.
I did some reading online (worst idea ever) and see its most likely related to an aggressive form of lymphoma.
My Mom had Stage 3 breast cancer and has been in remission for about 15 years. So we've been through this type of thing before.
But she's older now, so this scares me more.
Does anyone have any experience or knowledge with this kind of cancer? I know we don't know for certain what it is... I guess I'm just really anxious. I feel sick to my stomach.
thank you for listening.

Thoughts and prayers coming your way.
We're waiting the results of the biopsy. The doctor said "this is concerning" when he looked at the CTE scan. WTF does that mean? Waiting is the worst.

im an extrovert and a highly emotional person. I will probably use this board to get out my feelings. I'm not one to usually ask for sympathy/ empathy because I don't like to burden others or tell sob stories... But I will most likely really truly need all the support I can from family, friends and my favorite digital momma's.
I'm a nurse and I have a lot of cancer patients, and I don't believe in statistics. The most important factor is the patient's will to survive. I've seen the exact same staging play out completely differently amongst different patients. Your mom has a supportive daughter and a beautiful grandchild who both love her to keep her spirits up, just keep reminding her of that. Keep a brave face for her and stay positive when you're with her, and come here to cry and say your worst fears to us! PM me if you need to.
Thinking of you sweetheart. I know what an extremely difficult time this is for you and your family. xo
