Hi my mum has just found out she has lung cancer. They have told her they cannot operate because it would be too risky. They have also told her it hasn't spread and they will aim to keep it contained with chemo but we are still waiting for the biopsy to come back from birmingham to decide what treatment she can have.
I am so shocked and I'm worried about my mum already. She seems really down and is sleeping alot. She doesn't have any symptoms yet at all and is drinking at night still. We have also purchased some CBD oil which she us taking but she is miserable until she gets a drink in her. I understand why this is but I'm finding it really difficult to cope with.
I feel like she's given up already. I also totally understand if she has but when I speak to her about it she doesn't tell me how she feels. However it's clear to me that she isn't coping. What do I do?
I have to go to work still and life still goes on unfortunately and I'm finding it tough. I feel like I'm grieving my mum now and she's still here. I have a sister but she lives with her partner and I don't want to upset her as she too has responsibilities and has to work. I don't see how it would help.
I don't want her to give up well before we find out what options we have. My mum does have a delayed reaction though with things and maybe it's that.
Can someone please give me advice on how to help my mum ?
