Mum has breast cancer should I still go on holiday

My mum has just been diagnosed with breast cancer she has two lumps in her breast and also her lymph nodes. Because the cancer spread and the second lump is just below her collarbone it is considered an advanced stage. I am in my third year of university and I was planning to go on holiday in the summer with my boyfriend however now I feel very guilty and selfish for even wanting to go. I don't know what to do as the holiday was the only thing I was looking forward to because this year studying has been really hard so far however I don't want to leave my mum at the same time. Please could anyone help me help me what to do

    Sorry to hear of your mum's diagnosis.  With regards to the holiday, its early days, your mum's position could change between now and then, even though it has spread your mum will still be offered treatment and hopefully it will work and she'll have many years to come. I would keep the holiday open and see how the next few months go. In the meantime, your mum will need your support x
