Hi there ..

So glad you can stay with your mum at this time ...

Well all I can say, is everyone I know, on hearing the words cancer, is total shock, even when expecting it .. I took nearly two days in my room, not wanting to see anyone, and I cryed... cussed ... and got it all out .. then I could get back up, and take on this alien that had come uninvited to my boob..

I had a brilliant daughter in law who got us together, and said ... one day at a time, one problem at a time.. and well do it together.. and she got me through ... so all I can imagine is your mum's going through that time now ... and there's not much you can do, except stay as strong as you can, and just hold her hand ..  as she has anxiety too, it's gonna be a tough ride for you ..but you trying to hold it together will help ... and not saying things like "she'll be o.k" or telling her to stay calm, as trust me, we need someone to say things like "I'm right here" and "Well do this together" and saying, " I know you must feel scared right now" just may make a tad of difference..

Cancer has come a long way , and there's lots more of us living with it now... you'll always find a hand to hold here, as we've been where you are now ...  sending you a vertual hug... Chrissie x
