sending all the most positive vibes, dust and prayers your way for your mum to have a speedy recovery.


As hard as it may seem try to think positive as much as you can
 
Anchor- I am so sorry to hear about your mother. I can only imagine how scared and unsettled you must be. You have to remain strong and stay positive. She will get through it. I will keep her in my prayers. *Hugs*
 
i''m sorry your family is going through this right now anchor but stay positive! they''ve caught it early and there is such a high success rate for effectively treating it that years from now this will just be a memory. good luck on your finals and hopefully your mom will have a fast recovery!
 
Anchor! I am so sorry. Sending strong positve thoughts your way. I know that this is a very scary time for your family. Do you know what hospital/surgeon will be performing the partial mastectomie? I''ll be thinking of you on friday, and also when you are awaiting the pathologist report on the tumor. Keep us updated.
 
Anchor I'm so sorry to hear this. I know exactly what you're going through. We've had so many cancer scares in my family (going through yet another one right now

), and last year our worst fears came through. They caught it real early on though, just like your Mum, and he was fine. He's in remission now and you'd never know he'd ever been ill.

Although I do think you're right to try and get through the exam if you can, don't be afraid to defer it if you need to.

I'm sending lots of prayers and well wishes your way and I'll be thinking of your Mum all day Tuesday, and of you on Thursday.
 
Hoping and praying for the best for your mother.
 
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. I will keep you all posted if I have any news.

surfgirl - It's a great suggestions and I wish I could do that. I've studied cancer in class and I'd probably understand the jargon better than my parents. Although, as diamondseeker suggested, my mom needs to sign something for her doctor to disclose that information, otherwise the doctor has to respect doctor-patient confidentiality, even if it's me. My mom is interested in human physiology and pathology, so she may have the info. Even if she didn't understand all of it, she probably wrote it down or something to look it up. So I'll ask her.

ally - I don't know who the doctor is, but I can ask her later today.

Delster - I'm sorry to hear you went through those scares.

Ditto, hang in there Anchor, I know how scary this is, so sending you a hug. I would definitely do as DiamondSeeker said, and get it in writing if that is what you need, that your Mother gives you permission to be able to discuss her case with them. I know it is a big help to be able to to do.
 
Wish you and your family peace and courage throughout this difficult time.
 
Anchor...I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. My thoughts are with you and your family!!
 
*Sending prayers/good vibes/chants your way*

Never underestimate positive thinking. My aunt was diagnosed with lung cancer about two years ago and she''s doing extremely well. But she never let herself get down about it and I''ve been forcing myself to remain upbeat (she''s like my mom so it''s been rough but I do it for her). If you saw her, you would never know she had cancer, especially not the dreaded lung cancer which for so long was thought to be a death sentence. She functions like a completely normal person.
 
Awe, Anchor, I''m so sorry you''re going through this! My mom had breast cancer when I was a sophomore in high school and she''s fine now. They removed the lump and she had radiation and she''s been cancer free ever since (just about 10 years now!).

It sounds like they caught your mom''s fairly early so that''s definitely good. I''ll be keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
 
You poor poor love anchor, it must be terrible distressing for you. I have a lump in my throat just reading this, as I am also really close to my mum and can''t imagine how you must be feeling. The fact that it was caught at an early stage is good news, if any good can be derived from this at all. I''ll be thinking of you, keep your chin up and do keep us all updated, we all care for you alot!! And all the best with your exams xo
 
I''m so sorry Anchor! Try not to worry too much....breast cancer detected early usually has a very good prognosis. I was diagnosed myself about five years ago (also caught early by mammogram) and I''m doing fine now.
 
Anchor, it''s wonderful that your mom was keeping up on her medical needs and they caught this early. You obviously come from a line of strong women, so I''ll just send a few extra vibes of strength and some hugs and study vibes to you!
 
Oh my gosh Anchor

I am definitely keeping you all in my thoughts.
 
You and your family are in my thoughts Anchor. I''m so sorry about this, but it is very fortunate that they caught it so early, and pancreatic and breast cancer are two very different beasts so try hard not to compare them. Your mom will come through this! Good luck on your exams. I know it must be hard to focus on them but you know she wants you to do well.
 
Oh Anchor, I'm really sorry to hear this. Sending positive thoughts and prayers your way.

I''m sorry to hear about your mom, Anchor, but as everyone else has said, she has a great chance to come through unscathed. Good luck on your finals, as well-only a day to go and then you can focus on her completely.
 
Early detection is so key.

I am happy they caught it and can get on it.

Prayers to you and your family.
 
Hey everyone, you truly are fantastic. I can''t put my appreciation into words. I''m feeling better today.

***UPDATE***
I just talked to my mother for over an hour. She called yesterday, but I was too upset to talk. She''s very positive and is doing well. She has "invasive ductal carcinoma". Prognosis for this kind of cancer varies mostly on timing, and since mom''s was detected fairly early, it''s very good. Her surgeon (ally - his name is Dr. Khoury at the Jean-Talon hospital) told her she''ll be fine in a month. So that''s good news. She says that all she needs us to do is not worry too much and believe that she will heal quickly. She''s convinced she''ll be healed in no time, before my wedding even.

So I guess all I can do now is study for tomorrow''s final and pray some more.

And good luck on your final!
 
I''m so sorry anchor...best possible wishes and thoughts going out to your mother and to you.
 
anchor, I''m so sorry you and your family are dealing with this although it sounds like they caught it early enough and hopefully your mom with get through this in no time. You''ve heard of the power of positive thinking, right? I totally believe in it. Stay strong and positive and know that we''re all thinking of you. Sending tons of prayers your way.
 
Oh Anchor, I''m so sorry! It''s ok to be sad or scared or whatever you''re feeling. Just try to keep in mind that things look very good for a full recovery!
 
Anchor, I''m sending strong prayers and positive thoughts for a quick recovery and smooth sailing.
 
I can''t believe I missed this thread. I''m glad they''ve detected early.
