&lt;p&gt;My husband has oesophagus cancer, he has just finished radiotherapy a month ago.&amp;nbsp; I have to blend all his food at the moment, and build up drinks and complain is helpful.&amp;nbsp; He goes through very different emotions, one day bad, one day good. I just try to be there and listen. &amp;nbsp;It is very hard to find out your parent has cancer,&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;you will also be confused and&amp;nbsp;upset at what is happening to your mum,&amp;nbsp;just be there for her and listen to her feelings.&amp;nbsp; Have you found out what treatment she is having yet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Keep me updated and let me know how she is&lt;/p&gt;
