Pancreatic cancer - dear mum

Hi anybody,

I am heartbroken and cannot compose myself. Yesterday I went to a hospital appointment with my mum and she was told they have identified a mass in her pancreas and her tumour markers are very high. We are waiting to find out the next steps.

I am struggling beyond belief. I feel sick, I can't stop crying. I just cannot imagine a world without my mum in it.
