oh my.. sounds like something my mom would do though and dad helps her... and then doesn't understand when I get mad or keep things from them about my health- HELLO??? she was in the hospital with major complications and not expected to live and I found out when I called home and aksed my kid sister (who assumed I'd been told) to put mom on the phone.
they do it all the time.. I just hope this time it isn't too late and it is still treatable for your mom... they have made some miraculous advances in treatments for breast cancer. Even later stages... my aunt lived 10 years after a stage 2-3 diagnosis (I think the diagnosis she had 12 years before she died when it went in remission was stage 2, it was stage 3 the second bout.. but I am not remembering the details from back then that well.. she was on Chemo every three weeks, but she lived to see her grandchildren all be born!)
