Hi Im Lucy im 24 this year and my mam is 50, she has just overcome what we thought was the worst time in her life.
In 2008 she was diognosed with a brain tumor(which wasnt cancer), she had it removed and whilst in the op suffered a bleed and a stroke, she was in hospital for months and we nearly lost her, she has since recovered but is dissabled and unable to speak or eat properly, but she is doing really well and was home for xmas 2009.It wasnt over yet though!
Just after mothers day this year she was diognosed with breast cancer...we were all devastate, we just couldnt believe this could happen to someone that has already suffered enough already.
She has just had surgery and is about to start chemo, at 1st i thought this is it, but after reading so many peoples stories of survival, i am so much more possitive that she can get through this....she is a strong woman and is going to fight it! x x x
