Okay, we've got a diagnosis, its stage 4 lung cancer and you know what, i'm really, really furious. (hence the title of my blog, sorry, if its offensive, can change, let me know).

My mum is someone I have admired all my life, as are most of our mums. But she's amazing, always has been. So why her, she's done nothing but work hard and be a good person her whole life. She brings Education initiatives to kids and schools around the world, Malawi, mountain village in Thailand and so on, she works all the hours she can to make a difference.

So, yip, I'm really bloody angry.

And sad. I can't stop crying just now. We don't know exactly how long mums got, so thats the last thing I want to do, spend it bubbling all over my mum. I don't want her to feel miserable, thats the last thing I want. Shes determined to go back to work and have new experiences, so my challenge is to support her in that. Help. Its really hard.

The title isn't offensive to me and I can completely understand your anger, frustration, worry and fears.

Your Mum sounds like an outstanding lady, whatever happens through this journey - SHE MADE A DIFFERENCE. Nothing, not even cancer can take that away.

I wish you well on your journey, welcome to the "club" and hope you find the support and advice you need on here.

No justice is ther for people like this.

Your mum has dones so much with her life and been so generous by the looks of it so don't waste time on anger (should listen to myself as well).Anger & misery costs energy which can be put to a more useful purpose so support your Mum.

It is bloody hard and easy to wallow in & I know how you feel - it comes over me in waves. I've read about choking on your sobs and know I know what it feels like. Take the lead from your mum as to what to do.

Comfort hugs to you.

Your mum sounds a very special and brave woman you have every right to be very proud of her and I am sure she is of you.

Wishing you both some amazing times and experiences and remember none of us ever know how much time we have just make the most of each day (wish I could take my own advice LoL)

Hi hun, sorry i don't know your name so don't be offended with the word hun and i too am not offended with the title of the blog. It is so sad to hear of the plight of your mother, she sounds like a remarkable lady, like most of our mums, i know what your going through hun, cos i'm in the "club " All you can do is be there for her, save your tears for the quiet times when your on your own, try to be strong and positive for her, i don't know a great deal about that type of cancer, cos mine is different, i just hope these few words may help you in some small way. Take care hun, big hugs..... Paul xx

I am astounded at how amazing people are, despite what you guys are going through yourselves you've taken the time to make me feel better. Thankyou so much, you've no idea how much your words mean. For all its worth, if anyone needs an ear, I'll be here. I've been on this site for less than a day and well, I have more admiration for everyone here than I though possible in such a short time. Hugs, Dianne.
