Hi there and welcome!! My mom is a breast cancer survivor. She lost her hair and hearing due to chemo, both have since recovered. You can help by being there for her. She is going through the emotional ringer and needs someone to listen. If you have any questions, maybe I can help,I'm so very sorry that she has cancer.

Thank you for your support 🙏

Any time!👍One thing: my mom had shoulder-length hair before chemo. She got a boy's cut right before hand so that she wouldn't be totally shocked (still shocked, but not as much).

My mon do not want to proceed with chemo. She believes that it is not sure if they help

I'm not sure what to say. It's her choice of course. I wish her and you the best!

I think evening primrose oil would be a good suppliment for your Mum and also organic sea kelp - just a pinch a day - for the iodine content, organic carrots and grapes are what I would offer in the fight to halt it , I would look into other dietary sources that may help your Mum, reassure your Mum and take care of her and yourself

A top nutritionist called Suzannah Olivier survived breast cancer and wrote a book about how to recover from it and how to avoid it , that's where I got the info about iodine from sea kelp from

U can help her by..just being there for her,whether in person,video call,email,text,etc.Just tell her how much u love her and that will mean the world to her.

Im sending u both a COVID safe hug!!

LucyMe the best thing you can do for your mother is be there for her, encourage her. this may be the time now that you take care of her like she took care of you when you were younger. find a balance of your time for you and the time for helping. you are blessed that she is with you. make the most out of every opportunity.

Tell her you will support her and remind her that you are with her every step of the way. Offer to drive her to her appointments and let her know that medical advice is typically the best advice. Let her express how she is currently feeling. Offering to do stuff and the littlest things matter the most I think. I hope that helps!
