I'm not sure how to start this post - didn't think I'd be seeking anything to do with this as it's happened so fast. Just found out that my mum has to start chemo in 3 weeks and have an operation.  I have seen how chemo can have its negatives but can't imagine it being her jubbly self. Not sure what to expect or what I'm even asking for on this forum. Finding it hard to speak to her incase I cry or something which I don't want to happen as I know she needs a strop positive atmosphere. Would like to talk to someone that's been through it, a family member or anything. I'm 25 and havnt really been exposed to cancer as a whole.  Lost.
