Answers:
First of all, you need to know that false positives are VERY common. Secondly, even if the spots turn out to be malignant, there is a very good chance of successful treatment. It isn't like ovarian cancer, which so often kills. There has been a lot of progress in breast cancer therapy. As badly as you feel, you need to snap out of it. Support your mom with confidence, and humor. Yes, humor! Make it your job to keep laughter in her life. She will love you for it.
Please don't worry. In the case that those spots are malign
is something that she took in a early stage, and have a solution.
Good luck!!
Can you get to a breast clinic. The nurses and counsellors are fantastic. Their the best source of info and answer all your questions. I can't tell you not to worry as it's probably nothing but there is a slight chance that one of those circles is cancer. Sometimes cancer brings no pain. You can't feel it either. If it is or isnt cancer. Your lives will change dramatically. You will see things in a different view. Goodluck.
