My beautiful mum has just been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, our world has literally been turned upside down,my mum is in her early sixties, fit and healthy in every other way,doesn't smoke or drink and has been happily married to my dad for almost 50 years,I am the oldest of 2 daughters, My mum has virtually no symptoms other than a croaky voice,she felt slightly unwell before Christmas but assumed it was a chest infection, after visiting her doctor, having a chest x-ray, followed by a ct scan and an appointment with a specialist we were told she is dying and has incurable lung cancer.Our hearts are broken,I find it unbelievable how life can change so quickly in a matter of days,my poor mum is trying to be so brave,whilst the rest of us are falling apart,I don't no how we are ever going to recover from this devastating news,I am terrified at the thought of my beautiful mum not been here, I cannot imagineliving the rest of my life without her,my dad is broken hearted beyond words,my sister who recently lost her son is the only one unbelievably holding it together,for the rest of us in think, I do not no what to do,i no there must be many other families out there going through the same thing as us, but yet we feel so alone.We are waiting for a phone call tomorrow to see if mum can have chemotherapy to hopefully give her a little more time with us,but still the outcome will be the same.we feel so scared at what the future is going to hold for us as a family, how do we ever recover and move on from this.
