I'm a worrier by nature so this might be premature to post, but I'm worried sick about being a mom with cancer. (I have a spot on my tongue I'm worried about and an ENT appointment on Feb. 5.)

Right now, I just have worries about cancer but it's making me stressed out and short tempered with my kids. I have two boys, ages 4 and almost 7. If I do have cancer, how can I be the mom they need and support them? I think I'm so worried about this because my dad died of cancer at age 42 (I'm almost 36) so I know it can happen.

My apologies if I shouldn't have posted here since I already posted in the diagnosis thread. I'd just really love to hear advice from parents.
