Hi there - I'm sorry your mum has this diagnosis it's very worrying for you all. You're bound to feel as you do, anyone who has been in this situation feels the same way. You say you don't know how to act or feel. As for how you feel - there's no right or wrong way to feel I assure you. You feel how you feel. Scared, angry, confused, at a loss (all of the above?) - these are all normal/natural & takes a while to understand just how you do feel & to process it all. Best you can do is give yourself a bit of time & your feelings will work themselves out. As for how to act? Be yourself, be honest with your mum if you can. It's important to share your feelings with each other. Don't 'cover things up' unless of course your mum wants not to deal with it in that way. Being open & honest truly is best - it will help you both. Ask her how you can best help - tell her you don't know what to do - what does she want you to do. Sometimes all you need to do is just be there.

Honestly, tough thou' it will be, in a little while things will settle down a bit & you'll find yourself coping & understanding yourself & your mum, her treatment etc. Do hope this has helped a little. Do post & let us know how things go on. All the best. x
