I found out earlier today that my mother has breast cancer. When she went in for her mammogram a few weeks ago, she had to go her followup appointment a few weeks later to see if the result came back positive or not.

She found out the results today, and she has it. The good news is that it's not metastatic and she'll be having Lumpectomy surgery done.

Sorry to hear about your Mom's diagnosis. Thank God, it was detected early! After her Lumpectomy, your Mom should recover and do well, with continued monitoring.
Mikaela, I don't know how old you are, but you should start monthly self breast exams, for the rest of your life, by age 20 AND you should have your first mammogram, 10 years younger than what your Mom is right now, ie, if your Mom was first diagnosed at age 50 than you should have a mammogram at age 40, because of your family history. Early detection is everything!

OH Nuts!

Thanks Torgo, opus, TJ, and Rawr. Mom got a phone call from her doctor yesterday, and she has her first appointment on April 14th.

Mom won't let me go with her to the appointment, so my dad is going instead.

Sorry to hear that MA. My mom had breast cancer years ago and is now cancer free. She had to go through surgery twice. I will be praying for your mom.

She's fine. She won't be staying overnight at the hospital unlike last year and it's going to be outpatient surgery which means that she'll be getting out once it's all done.
