Cancer Support

The most important thing to remember is to take things one step at a time. It seems to take forever to get from one step to the next, but you will both feel so much more at ease once a direction has been established by your mom's medical team. Treatment will depend on the type, location and stage of the cancer. In my case, I had a lumpectomy, radiation, and 5 years of Tamoxifen, which I tolerated very well. Everyone is different. Google is not your friend in this case. I did find a lot of information from an online breast cancer support site. Staying informed is important so that you know which questions to ask your doctors, but too much information can be overwhelming.

Best of luck to you and your mom. Breast cancer does take a chunk out of your life. It's a club no one wants to belong to, but there's also a huge club of survivors who have come through with flying colors.
