Hi all, I'm 52 and my mother has been diagnosed with Breast cancer in both breasts and has opted for a double mastectomy which she is due to have the operation next week. She put on a brave face and I know she is worried and scared . Although she lives 6 hours drive away ,I will be there to help support her and dad coz I know he will be a mess too.
