Oh honey,
This is such a scary time for mum and you too.  As you stated lot of successful treatment is available nowadays.  Hopefully someone will be along to share their experiences with you soon.  This forum is made off a lot of caring supportive people.
Sending you a big hug,
Kathy
 

aww thankyou for takeing the time to reply i really appreciate it xxx

Have a mate here (I live in Oz) whose mum had a similar situation, had a choice of mastectomy or lumpectomy, ended up requiring neither.  False alarm but will continue to get checked.

Let's hope mums results are good,  Whatever happens you will have the strength to fight it.  Mum is so lucky to have such a caring daughter.

Once mum knows more an action plan can be made, sometimes the waiting for results is so hard and very nerve wracking.  But you are not alone, we are with you.

thankyou so much it really does mean alot. shes got to wait two weeks which is so hard for her she suffers with her nerves at the best of times and this has knocked her side ways. my nana also had breast cancer and she had a masectomy and the cancer never returned so that makes me hopeful xxx

Hi Kellymarie,
The waiting is just sheer hell isn't it.  I guess the medical team just want to get everything right.  Please keep away from Google, a lot of info is outdated and no longer relevant.
Mum may be thinking worst case scenario and that's quite normal.  May not be though.  A lot of energy can be wasted on the what if.... scenario, don't know if you can try and make mum worry less in the meantime.  Guess easier said than done.  I know when waiting for hubbys results it was like torture, but I had to be strong for him.

yeah its definatly hell, its jus constant worrying. ive done lots of research and im going seeing her tomorrow so im going to try and seasure her that its not always game over. theres lots of different types and most of the common ones which i think shes more likely to have do have positive outcomes. you said your husband has cancer? how is he? xxx

Lost him last Oct, we had 3 months from diagnosis to passing, but I nursed him at home palliative care which was his wish, to pass with me, son and pets.  He had a very aggressive cancer and chose no treatment as it would only have prolonged the inevitable with a lesser quality of life. Was quoted 2 months with no treatment and 4 with.  We had 3 months but either way would not have been here for sons wedding in March, he so wanted to be there.  He is always with me in my heart and in my memories and mad though it sounds he is looking out for me.
I am a better person for knowing and loving him and was so honoured to have nursed him to the end with assistance of palliative care people and district nurses.
We had 32 yrs together so have had a lot more than other folk have had.
I am so fortunate in so many ways, loving family and friends and blooming pets. Just told cat where to go for 2nd time as loves sitting right in front of I pad with his bum in my face.
Take care honey

My mum has just been diagnosed with breast cancer. We are all in shock and very scared so know exactly what you are going through. We have to wait two weeks for further tests before we know exactly how bad it is and what treatment is available. The not knowing is awful and we are trying to stay positive but it is so difficult.
