My mum has had lung cancer for a year, I don't know the details as I know they're trying to protect me but this evening I found out it was terminal. I am 17 years old. She is on chemo tablets and it is getting smaller and if/when the cancer eventually resists as it so often does, there are a different type of tablet but there is no cure. So we don't know how long she has. Some people with lung cancer have lived with it for 15 years. But it scares me that we really don't know. I thought that I wanted the cold hard facts and now that I have them I am heartbroken but I'm going to be strong. I'm the only person that knows apart from my dad obviously. I just can't believe it and I imagine my life without her and it is just horrible. I would really appreciate any comfort or any one who is/has been in a similar situation- would love to hear from a teen/ young adult but would appreciate anything from anyone.
thanks guys
