Hi! 

I am almost 21 and my mother 45 has just been diagnosed with bladder cancer. I can understand the emotions you're going through too as my mum is my absolute rock, best friend. My mum is very upbeat too as we use humour to get by in hard situations and remaining positive is key! Your holiday will be good and don't worry too much about her, I understand though I really do. But don't let the illness prevent you from having fun. It's just a diagnosis, do not let it feel like it defines her, you will have a crackin' time, normality is the best thing, don't let the big C take over and immediately be threatened from having fun :)

It's a hard journey but hopefully it'll be okay. :love:

Hi, sorry to hear about your mum. I also have lymphoma, my fifth treatment of chemo is next week and I'm doing quite well so far. A lot of lymphomas are low grade so I don't think your doctor would have been happy to let you go on holiday if it was aggressive. I was also going a short trip with my daughter but consultant told me I had to wait to see what grade and stage the cancer was at. I was lucky it was still low grade but stage 3. They did let me go on holiday,  The treatment has advanced a lot in the years and eg the anti sickness meds are so much better than they used to be. I wish you and your mum well.
