Mom has Breast Cancer?!
Question:
Mom has Breast Cancer?
My mom just found out that she has breast cancer but we don't know yet what stage it is she had a biospy on her neck because her lymph nodes was really swollen and it came back as cancer but they said it was coming back as breast cancer and took a biopsy from her breast so we don't know what stage it is yet. She has been saying that her shoulder on that side has been hurting which has me wondering if it has gone it to her bones also. I'm scared because it is spreading anyone that has had breast cancer spread like this people give me some ideals on what kind of treatment you had to have and the stage it was in. Thanks ahead of time
Answers:
Staging depends on the size of the tumor, lymph node involvement and how far the cancer has spread. Without having surgery yet, they likely will not have this information to give her. Please be patient and stay calm for your mother. She is really going to need your strength in the months to come. I'll keep the two of you in my thoughts and prayers.
