@yoursilverlining: Thank you for all your advice. It's helpful to know what to expect with chemo. I am so glad to hear that your mom recovered.

@2PeasinaPod: As far as they know, it's stage 2 but they are still waiting on more PET scans. They are going to find out more on Monday. So glad to hear your mom is well. Thank you!

@mediagirl: I absolutely agree with you. My friend's father has prostate cancer and his doctors have been dragging their feet because they said it's a "slow cancer."
Luckily,he just got into Stanford. I really appreciate that my mom's doctors are really on top of it.

I'm so sorry you are going through this. My mother has unfortunately dealt with cancer as well. My mother is a breast cancer survivor and had a double masectomy almost 15 years ago. She was diagnosed last year with a different kind of rare cancer and underwent intense chemo and radiation. She is thankfully in remission now.
My advice is to stay supportive and optimistic. Your mom needs optimism around her right now. Also it helps to try to go on with life throughout this process. Your mom will be going through tough treatment and she won't always feel her best, but I know my mom didn't want to be treated different during this and like we couldn't discuss normal everyday things with her. She will get through this with love and support from her family, it makes all the difference.

Wishing her the best!
Hugs mama.

@simplyfelicity: I'm so sorry to read this! I'd be so scared too. Hopefully it was caught early and hopefully your mom has a good recovery! Sending you hugs

So sorry to hear this!
My MIL is in the middle of a successful battle with breast cancer. They found hers during her routine annual mammogram. She also was originally going to have a lumpectomy along with the lymph nodes, but after finding out that hers is a pretty aggressive type, she made the decision to have a double mastectomy and reconstruction.
She found out in March. They did her operation in May and removed her lymph nodes then. Thank goodness her cancer had not spread! Because it's an aggressive cancer, they are doing 4 rounds of chemo just to be safe. She's about half way through the chemo now and then will complete the reconstruction when she's done.
Because hers is more precautionary, the doctors are thankfully spreading her chemo out every 3 weeks. She feels bad for about a week or so afterward, but that does allow her some time to recuperate between sessions. She's even started to venture out on her own a little and drive herself around on her good days. My husband has taken her to chemo, and he says it's a lot of sitting around waiting for the IVs to drip into her port. She said that it takes a couple of days afterward to feel bad, and that it feels like her bones are hurting afterward, because they are trying to generate bone marrow growth. She has some strong pain medicine and she takes it easy during that time. She did shave her head because her hair started to fall out. I'm thankful that my BIL and his wife live with her so she has someone to watch out for her.
Sorry for the book! But I thought it might be helpful to share her experience. Cancer is always a scary diagnosis, but thankfully they've come a long way in the treatments that are available.
