I would be really scared too. But remember they are there to help you so they have your best interests at heart. If you can I would be as honest with them, about as much as possible - that way they'll have the best information to come up with a treatment plan.

As for your Mom. I know you don't want to worry her. but I'm sure she wants to support you. Maybe you could ask to meet with the team alone, to tell them the really scary stuff, and then ask your Mom to come in when they start talking treatment options - it's usually good to have someone along for that part of the conversation anyways, as I find I don't always remember what I've been told.

Good luck. and remember to tell us how it goes.
