Hello everyone,
I posted earlier about our Mum going for tests and finding out she has breast cancer. ( http://www.healthypages.net/forum/tm.asp?m=404388 )
Just to let you know, Mum has been given a date for her op and its next Wednesday! There was a cancellation and they've just called her today.
She is keeping very positive and taking one step at a time, which I think is the sensible thing to do. She knows that there is no point worrying herself over what might or might not happen, or what has or has not happened to anyone else. She is dealing with things as they develop, and focusing on the positives, namely that the lump has been found at such an early stage.
She has high blood pressure too, and is suffering terribly with swollen ankles and knees due to the tablets, but she is not letting it get to her and is taking everything in her stride (literally as she has been out most nights this week to Christmas parties where there was much dancing on her part!) As she keeps saying, she's a tough ole bird!
I'm so proud of her.
Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
Thank you [sm=grouphug.gif]
