But with my dad....yeah, my 50 year old dad was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was in college at the time, and it was awful. They gave him 5 years to live, max. My dad and I are super close, he's a big teddy bear - everyone that meets him tells me what a nice man he is. Heck, the photographer at my wedding pulled me aside and told me, 'I just want you to know what a wonderful, kind man your father is'. Made me cry.
Anwyays, long story short - he went through chemo, all this thick brown hair was gone....got a mastectomy, and was on meds for 5 years. This was such a hard time for me, seeing him so weak and sick. Ugh. Makes me cry just thinking about it.
But he is ok!! He is in remission, it's been almost 7 years, and he's still going strong. He's going to meet his first grandchild! He's working out every morning, feeling better, and back to being the same dad I knew before, but with thinner gray hair
Just try and keep your hopes up and stay strong for your mom. I'm so sorry I just had such a hard time with the doctors giving my dad 5 years, and they were obviously wrong, and it made me miserable for so long. Think positively, and help your mom through this.
<<Big hugs>>
