My mum has just had a biopsy to get the confirmation of her cancer.   They want to be absolutely certain what they are dealing with due to its location.  

I am trying my hardest to be there for her but I am exhausted.   I feel guilty when I am not there and when I get upset because of how drained I feel.   Everyone around me tells me to look after myself but I don't even know where to start with that at the moment.   Just feel like I need to be my mums rock that is what she needs from me.  I just feel myself crumbling in the process and I don't know how to make it stop.   

She is only at the very beginning of this journey and yes, waiting for all these results is hell but I know it will be a long road for her.   I don't know how I will keep going and being strong for her.   

It makes me feel so guilty to feel this way with everything that she has going on.
