Don't think Cancer until it is said to be Cancer and live your life as normaly as you can. Keep your nervousness away from your MOM as I am sure she can feel and see it in your words and that sure won't help her thru this. Your Mom has my prayers and I am sure the prayers of many others. Maybe she is one that doesn't like to talk about this until it is cured or confirmed. She is the one with the stress.
