Hugs. Diagnosis for me was one of the few times it truly sucked to be right.

I'm sorry.
If anyone can handle adversity, it is you though. Stay strong. Thinking of you.

As everyone else has said - big hugs. And a big sigh, too. Can't something be easy, for once? Right?

((hugs))
Do give yourself time to grieve.
My experience was that it allowed me to focus completely on what needs to happen from then on, because until then every "red flag" would be stressful. I now describe it as feeling like worst was over. Hang in there, Mom..
