@cruisemust First of all I'd like to reassure you. She's your daughter and you love her so very much. You wrote that your daughter has a strong character and will do what she needs to do as she waits for the results. Your feelings that you refer to as "a mess" demonstrate how much you care for and love your daughter. Your daughter is no longer a little girl where you made the decisions for her. But you never stop caring and worrying about her. Can you tell her how you feel? Can you tell her that you are prepared to support her in any way you can and that this might come with some tears? Support comes in many forms. Your emotional presence - even if you aren't with her in person - is a support. If you live close enough to her where you can visit or go to medical appointments with her and sit in silence next to her is support.

You are already doing a lot to support your daughter. Telling her how you feel and that you love her will go a long way in support. Is there something else you would like to do that is instrumental? Bring nutritious meals to her home? Spend time with her doing something she enjoys? Walking together if both are able? Going for a drive to a favorite spot?
