Hello. Welcome to our community. You've come to the right place. There are many people here to help you get through this tough time in dealing with your mother's diagnosis.
Often the best way to combat fear and desparation -- in any situation -- is to educate yourself. Learn all you can about breast cancer, especially the kind your mother has. For starters see our collection of information for the newly diagnosed:
Just diagnosed?

Also see the section of our site specifically for caregivers ("husbands and partners," but loaded with great general information to help someone you love cope with breast cancer):
Breast Cancer Husbands and Partners

Then, take some time to scroll through the many SharePosts from our expert patients and other community members like yourself. Our site is chock-full of helpful advice and personal experiences shared -- all so valuable to you and your mother, now and as you go forward into treatment.
Let me know if I can help you find more specific information. I'd be glad to.

Best regards,
