&lt;p&gt;Mum has put up a good fight for over three years now, we&amp;#39;ve battled on and kept her strong as a family but yesterday recieved a devastating blow that I&amp;#39;m not sure how to deal with. At 21 I&amp;#39;m trying to come to terms that I may not have my mum around for much longer...her chemo hasn&amp;#39;t worked again and the cancer has spread. There are limited options left now. I have no idea how to feel or what to do. The thought that this could be my last Christmas with her terrifies me. I&amp;#39;m struggling to understand what the options are. I dare&amp;#39;nt ask any questions yet as everyone is still numb from the shock. Her first option is to have some other type of chemo which will hospitalise her and the second are some trials. &lt;/p&gt;
