Not sure if this should go here but I respect everyone here more than anywhere else. My mom went into surgery lastnight for breast cancer, every thing has been removed and there is no need for radiation treatments! She should beable to go home today! Ok thats all, Im just grateful on how lucky my family is, b/c we found out she had cancer 2 weeks ago and everything is gone and looks great!

| That is awsome!!! My mother had her left lung removed in Feb. She did have to get the rediation treatment but last Sunday I was able to take her to the mall and walk around and shop. I would caution you on her mood over the next few months or years. My mom has been so worried about her looks. She only weighed 130 before the surgery and is down to 110. I know that what your mother had done might worry her more but keep her positive!!! With out our moms we would not be here!!! |
Great news! Know a girl I went to school with/ grew up around that unfortunetly got told her battle with cervical cancer wont be won 2 weeks ago  . Makes you more greatful for things in life. Glad to hear your mom is good. Sure that was a world of worry lifted off the family.

My mother went through the same thing last year OP, found a spot in a mammogram, sent her for a biopsy, and got the bad news. Went in for surgery the next week, had the small spot cut out, and the Dr. felt that she had gotten it all, but recommended radiation for 6 weeks to be sure. She went though that with zero problems or side effects, and it's been over a year, no signs of cancer, and she's just as normal and healthy as she ever was All in all it was alot of worrying for nothing, the Dr. reassured her 100 times that it was very very early stage, and it was taken care of in time.

Just got the call she will be coming home tonight for sure both Dr's OK'd her and are 99% sure there is no more left. Waitin on results(to be sure) which will be in on Wednesday of next week. Thanks for all the support, I asked her the smornin when she would be ready to go shoot, she said "Cancer is for wussies who dont shoot, so I guess ASAP". Couldnt believe it!
