I was around 11 when my mum found a lump

I was around 11 when my mum found a lump, she had an appointment to have the lump checked and found out it was a cancerous lump so she had an operation to have it removed ! I didn't really understand what it was or what was happening, but my sister who was 12 was really struggling. Two years later mums having her 2nd breast implant! I'm kinda relieved that it's over but it has brought my family closer in some respects !
