Hello. I'm new to this forum. And, I'm new to cancer. 
My mum has been unwell for some time and losing weight. She is in her 80s. We had a doctor to come and visit and he has confirmed that he is 95% certain she has cancer and the best thing we can do is help with pain relief. 
 

I am posting on here because I have no clue how to manage our emotions. I took her some flowers today, and I just can't help thinking of what she must be going through. 
 

it's just a matter of time really. She has no weight on her. 
 

I hope some others that are going through this or have been through this can share their coping mechanisms.
