hi umm i have alot of anxiety and fear lately over my mom. but let me add info before going into that.
cancer is a huge issue in my family. both grandmas had breast cancer (survived)moms dad has prostate cancer, dads dad had bladder cancer and had lung cancer,moms oldest sister passed away from ovarian cancer,moms 2nd oldest sister had breast cancer that developed into bone cancer(doing well considering), moms brother has/had stomach cancer,.

at the e nd of march mom found out she has breast cancer in both breasts. =(
in a couple weeks they will be doing 3 surgeries at once.. a double mastectomy and taking her ovaries ( ovaries are a precautionary thing)
then before she is even fully healed from surgeries she will start both chemo and radiation.

mom has a very very weak stomach so chances are high she will be veryvery sick.

I am terrified. I am so afraid of losing her and I am afraid for her to be in pain and be so sick.

I am getting refills on meds this week which wil help me a bit buti am sooooo overwhelmed.

i do not think i can handle all of this at all.
