My mum has cancer. Both lumps in her breast are cancerous and there's a third in her other breast that hadn't been found until now that seems like it might potentially be cancerous too. She won't find out about what type it is until Monday week, but she'll be definitely having surgery some time in July.

I'm worried, of course, but I can't think the worst or break down. Some uplifting, hopeful or inspirational input would be great right now, however.

Those of you attending SoS, have a great time. I'm sorry that I won't get to say hi to you this year. I'll watch in on the livestream if I get a chance <3

Sorry to hear bad news. My best wishes to your mum for a swift recovery. You'll both be in our prayers here.

*hugs*

I hope your mom will be all right. My thoughts are with you, Jai. You and your mom stay strong, all right? ♥

*Hugs* Thanks. I'll do my best to stay strong (: And my mum is always strong. I'm sure she'll get through this.

It's a good thing they found them this time, though! If she's been having regular check-ups, hopefully, it isn't in an advanced state or anything and she'll be cured in no time! ^_^

I hope that the surgery will go well and that everything will be alright! ♥

Stay strong, you two. ♥

Thanks, Bird (: Hopefully it's not spread too far and it'll be easily treatable. Just gotta stay positive.

My heart is breaking for you. My MIL had breast cancer and she's fighting several other cancers even now.

You are both in my prayers. Keep us up to date.

Thank you, and I will (: I hope that your MIL will be all right also. Best wishes.

Oh no, I am so sorry to hear that. :(

Don't worry about SoS. It'll be sad not to see you there, but your mother is far more important than any blue cartoon hedgehog.

Best wishes to you all.

I hope you have an amazing time at SoS, Jade, and hopefully I'll see you next year (: Thanks for the best wishes.

Breast cancer has a pretty damned good survival rate, at this point.

I'm not sure what else to say but that we'll be pulling for her.

[identity profile] flyboy-fox.livejournal.com 2011-06-25 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you (: I know the prognosis is usually not too grim for breast cancer these days, so I'm trying my best to stay optimistic despite how scared I am.

Its good she was able to have the lumps found. It sounds like she has a good chance of recovery once the lumps are removed? You're a really good kid for staying by her side and supporting her. You're a stronger person than you make yourself out to be.

Agreed>.<
That's a twist just thrown in from nowhere..stay strong>.

[identity profile] flyboy-fox.livejournal.com 2011-06-25 09:43 am (UTC)(link)
Will do (: Thanks.

[identity profile] flyboy-fox.livejournal.com 2011-06-25 09:43 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you. We don't know yet if she'll have to have a full mastectomy or just a lumpectomy, or whether she'll have radio or chemo or what.... but no matter what it is, I have faith that she'll pull through. She's very strong (:

[identity profile] tangyabominy.livejournal.com 2011-06-25 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
Good luck to her, and you, emotionally speaking.

Like others have said, the pull-through rate on this sort of thing is good, and especially if it's caught early. I'm sure she'll be fine. :)

[identity profile] flyboy-fox.livejournal.com 2011-06-25 09:37 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you (: I can't go fearing the worst when we don't even know what type it is or how bad it is yet. Just got to keep optimistic...

By the way, you magazine is in the post on its way to you now. Sorry for the delay!

[identity profile] tangyabominy.livejournal.com 2011-06-26 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
No worries! You've had a lot to deal with, and no one can help bad weather. Excited to receive it~

[identity profile] private-enemy.livejournal.com 2011-06-25 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Jai, I can't imagine how this must feel...all I can offer are my words and prayers. Reflecting what the others have said, I'll be keeping you and your mother in my thoughts. Your mother didn't deserve this, and I'm so sorry it had to happen...but I know you'll be there for her. I know it sounds cliche, but be strong. I'm rooting hard for you two. Take care. <3

Thank you (: It's appreciated. I'll do my best to stay strong, and I know my mum will be strong because she always is ♥

I'm so sorry :( there are no words for what you or your mother must be going through right now. I guess the best you can do is try to be as positive as possible and be there for your mother as much as you can, which I'm sure you're doing. Send her my love and I'll keep you guys in my prayers.

[identity profile] flyboy-fox.livejournal.com 2011-06-25 09:45 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you (: I'll be staying as positive as I can. Right now we don't know how bad it is, so there's no reason to suspect the worst. Just gotta keep hope.

That's just not good news. I hope your mom gets okay.

Thanks (: I hope so too, and I have hope that she will.

Prayers to your mom. *hug* I'll be sending positive thoughts your way.

I have been away for about two weeks since I've read your last post. I am so sorry to read this update about your mom. I will pray for you both to have the strength to get through this journey. Stay strong.
