Scared of losing my mum

So 4 weeks ago my mum was diagnosed with glioblastoma stage 4, she had debulking surgery but unfortunately she had stroke during that and now has no movement on her right side, I have 2 younge children 4 month old and a 2 year old who loves his Nana very much, I'm just scared of losing her we don't really know how long she's got and because of the stroke she still stuck in hospital which means my children can't see her, I don't want them to forget her and I've also got to be the strong one in the family and feel like I'm a little numb about it all, please help me feel less scared

    I was diagnosed with GBM4 nearly 3 years ago.  I underwent surgery and chemo and radiotherapy. To my family it was a life changer. My wife and children have given the support and encouragement to live every day. I surrounded myself with people who made me strong. I found I had no time for fair weather friends. I read all the articles about this invader and some comments scared the hell out of me I confess initially. Everyone is different I have had 2 years of stability, however it has returned and is now inoperable. I cannot sit here looking on the dark side. I take each day as it comes and treat it as a bonus. I have my MRI every 3 months and chemo every month so carry on regardless.
