Hello Jean-L and so sorry you are carrying this burden on your own. Please do tell your mum; this will be painful but not as much as she would feel if you did not tell her; there has to come a point where you can no longer pretend all is well. I am afraid it is unavoidable and you are also depriving yourself of loving family care. How would you feel if it was the other way round and your mum hid some important information away from you? I do understand that it is sometimes just too difficult and awful to tell your nearest and dearest but really it is unavoidable and the sooner the better. Please also keep posting here if you find it helpful - there are people who will listen and reply if you would like to do this. I have attached a link that you might find useful. Annie
So sorry to see your post Jean-L, I really hope you are not still carrying this knowledge alone.
My advice would be identical to that of Annieliz. I'm trying to put myself in the shoes of your parents and all I can think is that I would want to know. If you were my daughter I would want the chance to ensure I made as much of the time I had left with you as possible, and I can only do that if I know.
You may have told them already, I really hope you have so you are all now able to comfort and support each other.
As Annieliz also said, please do post again if it will help you.
