Be supportive: It is important to be supportive. I highly recommend you or someone else go with her to appointments with her oncology team. She will be overwhelmed with the diagnosis and may not hear everything clearly or understand. It helps to have a 2nd pair of ears to listen and ask questions. Good luck

First make sure: that this cancer is not the rare inherited form of cancer. Even it is not, first degree relative with breast cancer still puts you at high risk. Make sure you consult your doctor for annual physical exam and mammography.
