Hi there and welcome to the forum, but sorry you find yourself here because your Mom is ill. You don't say what exactly is wrong with your Mom, but I assume she is ill with cancer, since you joined this forum. I'm also not sure what kind of help you need for her and yourself, but I'm sure a good place to start would be with her doctor who would be knowledgeable about her condition and her needs. You sound like you're really stressed out about this and it is a scary position to be in, especially if you don't have any family supports to help you out there. If you do have family, or friends of your Mom, perhaps they can offer some help to you as well.
Come back on to the forum to let us know how things are and get some support on here for yourself. Your Mom is fortunate that she has you there for her.
