Hi all,

I'm currently 30 weeks pregnant with my first baby, and last weekend my mam broke the news that she's been diagnosed with stomach cancer.

She told me that the doctor was optimistic, and there was talk of chemotherapy and then possibly surgery. My concern is that I'm not 100% sure how honest she was being with me, due to my being pregnant. 

I'm absolutely terrified that I'm about to lose my mam at a time in my life that's already quite difficult. I'm doing my best to stay positive, but all I can think about now is that I could be learning to be a mam whilst losing my own mam. My pregnancy has been quite difficult, and I feel like this has become the last straw for me and I just want it to be over now. I know that sounds selfish and terrible but that's how I feel.
