okay, im a 19 year old guy, i just finished high school and live with my parents. i feel bad cuz i have caused my mom and dad a great deal of stress becuz of my own problems (anxiety issues, causing dependence on benzodiazepines) but that is not really why im posting here... this is not about me. My mother just told me she has a "pre-cancerous lesion".. this red spot on her face that ive noticed for a while but didnt think much of. she herself is a doctor but was given "Aldara" (imiquimod) as a topical 5% cream to apply every other day. I'm so scared that anything bad could happen to my mother. i havent told her in a very long time, but i really do love her, and shes done so much for me. Writing this is making me tear but i want to know what to do, what to tell her. Is this something i should be SERIOUSLY worrying about, is this really an early form of cancer, will it be cured by this medication? A friend of mine who is pretty wise, and told me he knows a fair amount on the subject said it will probably just make things worse, perhaps causing it to spread, and then my mother may require chemo, according to him... and i dont know what i will do with myself if such a thing happens and if this is actually a form of cancer. fuck.. i myself am in benzo withdrawal right now, but i dont even really care. i want my mother to be okay. I don't want anything sugar coated, just what you guys know about this... and i have read some awful, horrifying threads on this page about their mother passing away and such, and i hope i dont sound like an idiot if this isnt anything serious but i am very very concerned. thnx in advance for listening (anyone that does)
