Hi everyone, 

I'm not sure what to say so I'm just going to type. 2 months ago a few days before Christmas, my mum was diagnosed with stage 3 triple negative breast cancer. They said it was large but hadn't spread. Fast forward a month and mum had her first chemo. A few days later, she felt very unwell so went to hospital where they told her it had metastased and was in her lungs, maybe elsewhere and was incurable. I rushed in to be with her after this, and the next day I was there as she had a seizure. It was hands down the worst day of my life so far. I thought she was dying. She was rushed to ICU where she was unconscious for a few days but she got 'better' and is home now. 
 

I don't know what to do. My mum is only 63 and was full of life. I'm only 23 and mum is my best friend in the whole world. She is kind, outgoing, the funniest person and most lovely woman you'll ever meet. We've not had it easy but she's always made sure im ok and supported me- it's just us two. I don't know what I'll do without her or how I will cope. I've moved back in with her and every time we're sat on the sofa talking or doing anything else im trying to etch everything into my mind thinking 'what if this is the last time'. My mum is terrified and extremely upset that she's leaving me, not going to be there for me anymore, not going to see me get married and have children and I don't want these things anymore if she's not going to be here for them. I feel selfish even posting this as my mum is the one going through it, not me. I'm terrified every day and I am strong when I'm with her but as soon as I'm alone I can't stop crying. 
 

Can someone please help? How do I support her the absolute best I can? I know others have been in this situation and that breaks my heart. No one deserves this. Please tell me how you've coped because I'm not doing it very well at all
