When I was younger I was diagnosed with cancer (ALL) I was 3 and I had it for 3 years. I am now being tested for ovarian cancer which is very stressful and to top it all off I was going to get my vaccines and they noticed this thing on my arm and they said to me I needed to get it checked out so I did and I've been diagnosed with skin cancer and I have to get it removed on the 7th January and I still haven't told my mum I'm so worried about telling her because she is waiting to find out if her cancer has come back and I have no idea how I would even tell her. It keeps on playing in my head over and over and I keep and I'm really struggling to sleep. I don't know what to do please can someone give me advice I'm 18.
