Hello, my mum has been battling lung cancer since last October and in January was told the treatment was working and her cancer was shrinking. It was l going well and she seemed to be getting back on her feet and being much more positive. 
she had another CT scan last week and they told her the cancer had spread to her kidney and liver and all her treatment will be stopped. They said she has 3-4 months to live. I'm really struggling with taking this in. 
I live at the other side of the country and my job isn't very supportive with me taking time off. I'm so scared and feel trapped because I can't afford to take time of work but want to be here with my mum. I'm also a step parent to 3 children and have bills to pay. My partner just started a new job and took a slight pay cut as it will take time to build up his client base so I have to earn what I'm on now to survive. The guilt I feel about not being able to see my mum everyday is breaking me. 
I feel so guilty for every decision I make. 
my mum and dad are supportive of me as they know how hard I have worked to get where I am. 
should I be quitting my job to spend time with my family ? I just don't know what to do any advice would be appreciated.
