Diagnosis

Hi my name is Sharon. I was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 weeks ago. It was an absolute shock as I had no lumps or symptoms and it was found through my first mammogram which I had been called for early as part of a trial. I'm 49. There is no history of cancer in my family. I'm dealing with it ok and I use humour a lot as a coping mechanism. How can I stop my mum falling apart though? I love her and hate seeing her so upset. I've tried to convince her I will be fine but she won't have it! I am due to have the isotope dye on Monday then my surgery on Tuesday but I'm not worried about me I'm more worried about my mum. Does anyone have any advice?

thanks
