Dammit. Just dammit.
Permalink  
 

I've only talked to my mom once since Christmas, because when she was here, she was just awful and toxic and selfish and self-involved, and she's sorry and all that and has emailed me a couple of times and we're not exactly not speaking, but I've avoided talking to her because she's too much drama and I can't handle it right now.  She understands, and misses me and blah blah blah and then I got this message from my brother a few minutes ago:

"Hey, I'm not sure if Mom told you yet since she didn't really want to tell me but her biopsy turned up positive for breast cancer. It was almost undetectable and didn't show up in her mammogram so it's not bad but she has to have surgery in the next couple weeks and undergo radiation. No chemo though and she doesn't expect to be too sick. She's been planning to come out to visit me soon and still might but if she doesn't feel up to it, I'm going there to visit in a few weeks.

She will find out details about the surgery in the next few days but she didn't seem to know much yet and didn't want to worry us. I'll keep you updated as I hear anything else."


I just...ugh.

I'm sorry. That's just hard.

Are you going to call her? Or wait to hear more from your brother?

Thanks ladies.

I don't really know how I'm going to proceed.  I know I'm not going to try to make a decision about it tonight.  Since my mom hesitantly told my brother and hasn't told me, she may not want me to know, especially considering she knows I've been under a lot of stress lately and she's probably not sure how to tell me.  Or something.  I don't know.

Alison, I'm ridiculously sorry about this. Really just sorry.

No advice, other than that I'm *really* glad that you are sleeping on it before proceeding, but I'm sending a ton of hugs.
