Hi Jennymum1980,

Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm so sorry to hear of the situation with your mum - this sounds incredibly difficult and I can only imagine how tough it must be. I'm sure it must be a lot to process.

For now at least, take things a day - or less - at a time. Try to break it down into small next steps and dealing with the here and now. Talk through any questions or concerns with your mum's medical team, to ensure you have all the information you need to help understand what's next.

You mention you don't have any siblings - hopefully you have other friends and family to speak to for support. Either way, we're always here on the forum if you need it, and it can often be helpful to reach out to others. I'm sure there will be others here who have been through or are going through something similar.

And if you need any additional support, have a look at Macmillan and Maggie's, who both have various resources to help.

Wishing you all the best,

Ben

Jennymum1980 I am afraid i have nothing helpful to say. But I am sending you love.

It might be hard for you both to do, but maybe get her to write your boys some cards for significant life events that you can keep and give them when the time comes.
