Hi, I'm Bek, my bestfriend, my mentor, my rock... my mother as been diagnosed with stage 3 throat cancer. we thought it was a bad throat due to hacking as she has severe COPD. my mom knew deep down it was cancer, for me it was a shock. my mom feels like its happening to a third person and right now I'm not sure I've accepted it. I'm concerned about her health during and after the radiotherapy. I know we are in for a bumpy ride.
