I just want to let people know that no matter what they are going through there will always be people there for them.

It was this year in february that i found out that my mum devolped breast cancer. It came as a shock to me i cryed all the time even in school and my friends and teachers kept telling me it will be ok. My mum has had 6 months of kemo and she is getting better. Next she will be having radiothearpy and having her lymph glans taken out. One of my friends nan had breast cancer but sadly her nan died. I go to her for advice and we talk about it. I just want to let people know that no matter what they are going through there will always be people there for them. My familys is also helping me and me and my mum are spending much more time with each other now and she tells me how she is feeing and whats happening next.
