Hi everyone, I'm a 34 year old who's mum was diagnosed with lung cancer for the 2nd time a year ago. Her docs aren't recommending anymore treatment and the outlook is pretty bleak. Most days I'm ok getting on with life but today just isn't one of those days, I just can't stop crying. I'm so afraid I really don't want to lose my mummy.

    Aww- let me give you a great big hug and make you feel better. Believe me please - but no one wants to see their mum suffering -not ever.  It's so normal to cry - one told me once that is healthy to cry - well it maybe but some times you just can't help it and maybe that is the mind trying to shoot STOP to the world. .

    We are going to light a candle and place it in our front widow for you and mum.  You both hold each other dear - and this cruel illness is changing it. My tears are for you - I am sorry but I feel upset for you both

    Xx steven

    Hi Emma,

    So sorry your mum has this blasted disease. Our emotions are what they are and sometimes they just overflow as yours are today. It doesn't matter how old you are your still your mums baby. When I feel overwhelmed with stuff I take 'rescue remedy', its a tincture you put 3 or four drops on the tongue and it helps to balance you emotions. Any health food shop, Boots etc will sell it.

    Is there any chance of a second opinion on your mums condition? I have heard of someone doing this and getting further treatment. Of course I know nothing about her situation but perhaps its worth thinking on.

    Wishing you both well and sending hugs

    Aemi x
