I'm at work and fighting back tears. Mum recently been informed she has secondary cancer, having had and (wet thought recovered from) breast cancer a few years ago. 

She's currently waiting on biopsy results but looking like it's  spread to few places. Advised she's inoperable and she'll likely end up with palliative care following any treatment.

Very difficult watching my dad too, who also has health problems - really struggle, he's not sleeping well or eating.

They're both mid 60s. Visited last night, as mum home from hospital while waiting for test results, had bed organised etc. My dad was in tears as we were leaving.

My wife, young kids and I live about 40 miles away and it's killing me I can't do more to help mum.

Just stressed, upset, scared, worried, tired and feel like my mum has been given a death sentence.
