My mom has breast cancer.
She found a lump underneath her arm, one of the lymph nodes. She had a surgical biopsy this past Monday.
The doctor ended up removing two lymph nodes, both with tumors. We knew Monday evening it was cancer, we just didn't know what kind.
Right now, the doctors don't know where it originated from, but they suspect that it is aggressive, as it was found suddenly and spread to her lymph nodes.
She had a mammogram. It was clear.
She had an ultrasound. It was also clear.
She is scheduled for an MRI.
She will have to have surgery.
She will have to have chemotherapy.
Because of other medical issues, she may not survive the chemotherapy.
My relationship with my mom is difficult, but she doesn't deserve this.
Fuck cancer.
