Completely lost

Hi. I don't really know where to start we were today 7 weeks ago my mum who is 56 had cancer. We were told yesterday it is a very rare and aggressive form of kidney cancer called collecting duct. He also said it's unlikely chemo will help and gave her 12 to 18 months. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of this cancer . I don't know what to do or say it all feels very surreal for me God only knows how she must be feeling
