As the mother of 7 daughters and someone that is facing this cancer for the third time at the age of 46, I can understand your feelings AND your mothers feelings. If and when I find myself in your mom's position, what I would need more than anything is to know how my girls were feeling. Moms are just like that, our children, from the moment we know we're pregnant, become far more important than ourselves. Your mom will spend most of her time worrying about how you get through this.....so tell her, talk to her.
