My mum has just been diagnosed with breast cancer

I'm 20 years old and just needed a bit of advice as I'm struggling with the fact my mum has breast cancer. She is keeping so positive and I'm trying but I'm struggling. 
I'm currently employed but I'm really struggling to go to work because all I want to do is spend time with my mum so I can process it all and spend as much time with her and help her as much as I can and my dad and sister. But I don't know what to do. 
I feel like when mum has her op that I'm not going to be able to work but am I stupid to have time off while she's going through this? Because I know how long everything takes. 
I work in a nursery so my phone is in my bag at all times so I am just constantly worried and my anxiety has gone so bad because I'm just worrying about my mum & family. 
Thank you & sorry for Rambling.

    Hi Jade

    I'm so sorry to hear about your mum. You are understandably very worried. I was diagnosed in January with breast cancer. I'm currently going through treatment. Do you know much about your mum's diagnosis? Have the doctors said what type and if localised and given her a treatment plan? I and a lot of other ladies have found that once you know the plan, you can handle your diagnosis a lot better. But I know it is still tough for our loved ones as they will naturally worry.  

    Here for you as I am sure lots of others are if you need to talk or ask questions.
