My truly super mum was took to hospital the day before Christmas Eve with severe respiratory problems caused by COPD and a chest infection. She was diagnosed with a tumour at the top of her lung near her trachea. 

my mum being my mum, never wanting to be a burden or spoil anything over Christmas told us this morning. Not sure what to feel, do or say. Please help. Me and my mum (in fact our whole family) are very very close. 

please advice anyone?? I’m truly lost! 

  • Hi MissJAC888,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I hope you're getting on OK - I'm sure this was a big shock and a lot to process.

    It sounds like you may be waiting for further information about the situation - if so, I hope it's not long to wait for this, and at which point it may help in terms of understanding what to potentially expect.

    It's good to hear you and your family are close, so hopefully you feel there is support and people to talk to.

    We are always here on the forum whenever you may need it, and I hope it can be helpful for you in terms of writing things down and reaching out to others.

    Take care of yourself and take things slowly.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
