Hello darling
Just a story to inspire you, my sister found out when her youngest son was 3 that he had a big tumour in his kidney. He was in hospital for a few months and it was hard explaining to him at 3 what was going on and it was so hard for my sister not to get upset or let him think anything really bad was happening "Joshua is ill so he needs to go to hospital so the doctors can make him better" and she had to believe that because the other outcome was unthinkable.
Some chemo with very minimal side effects and the removal of one whole kidney and he is now 5, 6 in April (5 days after my EDD!) and very healthy. He is also very proud of his big scar across his belly!
So you see hun, keep your spirits high, like others have said. And you never know. The C word is so scary and yes it's a malicious disease but it can be beaten. We all back you and recognise how difficult it must be, but remain strong for LO. Fingers crossed for you sweety xxx

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family! Try to stay calm for your baby and I hope that your mom's prognosis is good
My thoughts are with you and your family. Like other posters have said although its a scary horrid time cancer is not the death sentence it once was. Think positive thoughts and stay healthy yourself and support each other in all you do.

i sorta know how you feel. they thought my mom had cancer. because they had to retest a certain area to see if it was real cancer cells or not. it took months until we found out. but the whole time i was thinking, what would i do if my mom DOES have cancer. i cant lose my mom 
i hope she makes it through. atleast until the birth of the baby, that way she can atleast meet her. and she can get to know her grandma.

Saw your post and just want to send
I'm sorry to hear about your Mother, she will be ok and I pray that you have a healthy rest of your pregnancy and she a very good prognosis.
I worked with cancer patients every day, until I had to quit my job, as well as been on the other side of it with my father who had Lung cancer. It is not something easy to go through, but as long as she has you by her side and a good support system, anything is possible.
Please do not worry (I know, easier said than done). If you would like to talk or have any questions, feel free to msg me.
H/H pregnancy & good luck - XOXO~JeN~XOXO

Firstly, massive
You must be feling a whole range of emotions, but for you, your baby, your mum and family, you must try and remain as calm and focused as possible. Your mum might look for you as a shoulder of support, and despite wating to break down you will want to be there for her. Make sure that you too have someone to talk to as you will need to discuss your feelings with someone too, whether that be with your OH, friends, other members of the family etc.
Cancer is certainly not the death sentence that it was many many years ago, and treatment has come on massively. Do not feel down-hearted as there are so many avenues that can be gone down and explored, and often with screening etc as good as it is things are often caught early anyhow.
My best friends father has Mantle Cell Lymphoma, and was diagnosed a few years ago. It was advanced when it was found and is a rare and aggressive type. He has just had a stem cell transplant, and although things havent been easy, he is in hospital pulling through it.
Good luck today, and stay calm. There is no point worrying about something which you cannot influence or change.

Thank you so much ladies .... your support and kind words mean everything, just wish my mum could read them lol!
Well we had another meeting with the doctors yesterday to discuss her treatment and it was better news. I can't say good news because none of it is good ... but basically it IS treatable. She had an ultra sound today which so far they say they can't see that the cancer has spread .. but it IS stomach cancer ... so now today she got to have an iron drip for anemia but she might be able to come home and just go back for chemo. So she will need to have intensive chemo and maybe some time down the line may need an operation but we will cross that bridge when we come to it...
I came home lastnight and have decided to get back to work too, get back to a bit of "normality" basically for my mum, she needs 2 see we are all carrying on as normal, plus I need to stay as normal as possible for me and my princess. If I find I can't cope or am struggling as she goes through this I will go to my docs and have a discussion about how 2 cope etc...
Thanks again 4 all ur support..

Only just seen this thread, I was away last week, but around the same time, my step dad got told his recurring (or not-gone-away) voice problems is because of a lump in his throat which they think could be cancer. He will find out Wednesday, but he's been a heavy smoker all his life, he's not too hopeful he'll be that lucky, although we're praying he is.
Everyone can tell you it is treatable, and everyone can tell you it's common, and of course they're right, but it doesn't stop you worrying I think I'm more upset thinking how scared he must be, rather than anything else.
And if it were my mum rather than dad? Well, the concern would run even deeper. I really feel for you. xxxx
Keep us posted hunny xxxx
