My aunt was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago. Your world comes crashing down.

Hard as it sounds, you've got to stay positive. Maybe organise a day out with your sister to take your mind off things. Worst thing you can do is cry in front of your mum or comment on how stong she is.

Everyday write down one thing to be thankful for. It will be hard but there will always be something to smile about even when your whole word has been flipped upside down.

Don't jump to conclusions; just stay postitive. And when you need to, just have a good cry to yourself. Cry everything off.

And you know what they say: you need a little rain to make a rainbow.

I hope this helps you, I am going through the same dark cloud, and know how difficult it really is.

Thank you for your help. 

I am trying to stay positive but it is just so hard when I am in so much pain. I feel so helpless. I really appricate you taking your time to respond to me. I just feel so alone. I don't want to talk about it to any of my family because  I know it upsets them. 

I hope you are coping well with your own family. It is one of the most difficult situations to be in.
