my mom had pancreatitis.
while checking pancreas, docs found 3 cm mass.
read online that 85% of tumors found on pancreas is cancer.
i'm feeling a lost and panicked. . they did a biopsy, and i'm desparately clinging to the hope that she's among the 15% but fcuk.. i'm getting 
depressed...
Terrible news, hope she's in the small group of people that don't have cancer. I lost my mom just over 16 years ago to cancer, after a nearly six year fight, and I won't sugar coat it, it crushed our family. My Dad completely cratered and it took him nearly a year to get his feet under him and that was just to baby steps. He still struggles every April even all these years later.
If your work offers an EAP, use it. Seriously. If not, talk to your doctor about resources, they're out there. I didn't do anything of the sort, and really regret it. My mom and I were very close and her illness and death affected me much more than I thought.
Three months after my mom died the doc found a lump in my wife's neck, I literally crawled up into a ball and my brain just shut down. Thankfully it wasn't cancer, but I am well aware of what goes through your mind when hear what could be horrible news, and more than once.
Fingers crossed. Sending positive vibes to your family.
