Hi KirisMum,

I know for myself, I don't talk to my Mom much about my cancer. She is a breast cancer survivor but it was much more treatable. When I personally dealt with losing a child, it almost killed me so I try to protect my mother from that pain. As long as I'm still living life, I don't want her to worry. I try to stay positive and hate to see the fear in my mother eye's now (she has a friend who is HER2+++). The best thing you can do for your daughter is to stay strong and allow her and her doctor's to address any concerns.
