I found out my Mom's breast cancer was back on Christmas Day. We did not discuss it but it was definitely the elephant in the room. That is not something you can put back in the box and take back to where you got it. She got the results back from her biopsy on Christmas Eve but we are not going to sit down and talk about it as a family until sometime next week. My Mom will be 80 years old in about three weeks. That does not make the news any easier.
The cancer was discovered during a routine mammogram. She has had breast cancer before and it was about ten years ago. They found it during a routine exam then as well. I will really not know anything until next week. That is the worst part of hearing news like this. I want someone to take action now. I know I am rambling but I am trying to make sense of this. I don't guess it is ever going to make sense but writing, rambling, and being incoherent is the only way I can deal with it.
