Hello 

I am a very worried mother, my daughter has just had her kidney removed because of a cancerous lump.   She has a young child and is concerned that he will be left motherless.   I know no one can predict the future, but I feel that I need to talk to someone to keep myself literally on the deck.   Tears do not help I know, but I am very concerned and frightened.   I appreciate that most of you are going though just as terrible moments in life, but really feel I need someone to talk to at the moment.   Reassurance is all that we need when we have to cope with this, and I am trying so hard to be cheerful and reassure her but sometimes I just need a shoulder to cry on.   Sorry I am full of self pity at the moment, but it came as a terrible shock to all.   I now appreciate what most of you must be going through.   Sorry for the rambling, but it has helped me to put things into perspective.
