For your Mom's sake you've got to stay positive. You don't even know anything yet so there's no sense worrying about something that may not happen. I know that's easier said than done. And all this talk about who lives with who and wills and stuff must be very scary for you.

Remember Richard's thread about HOPE yesterday? Life throws us some hurdles and it's my believe that we are never handed more than we can cope with. It's true that if breast cancer runs in the family then you are at high risk. Does your Mom have any relatives who had BC?? If not, then try to stay calm and perhaps do as much Internet research as you can.

Every day they are making progress in BC treatment and I myself have known many BC survivors. There is HOPE. My prayers go out to you and your Mom, and yes you are right, PT prayers do work miracles.

Hugs to you and remember we are here for your 24/7.
