Lost my father 20 yrs ago from lung cancer. I remember when he told me it was inevitable....there was nothing they could do. I cried with him......Write your mother, tell her how much you love her and are praying for her recovery. Breast cancer IS treatable.....I have 4 friends that have had it and have survived. Keep in constant contact and ask about her health....don't be afraid to confront her with it. {{{{HUGS}}}} to you and your mother.
