Without wanting to piggyback, Mons.
About a week ago, Mum had a scan.
It had calcium deposits.

It could be benign, pre-cancerous or cancerous.
Mum's friend (evil D who told her I wasn't depressed) had the same results and ended up with a mascetomy. Today, Mum's come back with the world's worst bruises and guilt that she didn't tell me - I overheard and then had it confirmed from Dads.

I honestly believe it's just a false alarm. Even if the worst came to the worst came to the worst it's about calcium deposits, not cancerous tissue. But I am also cogniscant that Mum has now had two painful tests, which she was trying to hide from me (becaue she didn't want to tell all of us) and she is fretting.

Not much I can say to make things sound better.
Mum is scared, I'm trying to help (and I'm crappy at that) and we're in the early days.

All I can say right here and right now is what everyone will say when the spectre of cancer drifts over. It's a slim chance that it will affect her, but it reminds me how very much I love her.

Same to all who are suffering.
