I have a family member who has recently been diagnosed with bone cancer on her face. She has had spots of skin cancer before which have been successfully treated and is due to have full body MRI/PET scans in the next couple of weeks. She is otherwise fit and healthy, independent and living with her similarly aged husband. 

I hate to sound so ‘clinical’ but it’s hit me quite badly and after time to absorb the shock and try to deal with it I now feel determined to try and find out and research as much as I can about it. This lady means more than the world to me and anything I could find out would put my mind at some rest - whether it’s facts, statistics or stories - good or bad, either way I want to try and give my mind some kind of realistic idea of what we’re facing before we get the results. This way I feel I will be better prepared to do what I can to support her, her husband and their son. 

Anything would be appreciated because I feel like I’m going out of my mind with worry and don’t want my family to know how much I’m worrying at this stage because I don’t want to make them worry more.
