Taylor's mom Andrea discovered her condition after going through routine screening as a Christmas present for Tay, and together they're urging fans to ask their parents for a similar gift. On her blog, Tay wrote, "Your parents may be too busy juggling everything they’ve got going on to go to the doctor, and maybe you reminding them to go get checked for cancer could possibly lead to an early diagnosis and an easier battle… Or peace of mind in knowing that they’re healthy and there’s nothing to worry about."

Though dealing with this news is undoubtedly hard, we applaud Taylor and her mother's bravery in sharing the diagnosis and using it to inspire others to be vigilant and careful when it comes to their own health. Though we're heartsick to hear Taylor's news, we're comforted knowing that what support we can give helps. "Thank you for caring about my family so much that she would want me to share this information with you," Taylor wrote. 

We're sending out all our love, good wishes and prayers to Taylor's mom and her family. Other celebrities and fans have joined in, tweeting messages of support and thanks to Taylor and her family. 

Have you ever dealt with a difficult diagnosis in your family? Tell us in the comments and don't forget to send Taylor your love.
