I am so sorry for your news. I cant answer why the doctor did what he did but thank goodness he did. The important thing is to move forward with comforting your mum and help her with company for the tests and talking to her and helping her share her troubles.
Once the tests are sorted and a treatment plan is in place you will find she will feel a little better. All the ladies on here will tell you its the waiting that is the worst but once she is actively having treatment she will feel she is fighting it.
The best thing for you is to arm yourself with good advice and information as you will find on this site and then perhaps you could make her a nice meal and just give her the chance to talk the shock out. I would wait for the tests and just find out what she will have to deal with.
Good luck and wait for the ladies on here to reply to you. Big hug xxxxx
