Hello, I'm not sure what to say.
My mum has recently been diagnosed with lung cancer. I don't live in the same country as her. I have been flying back often to be here for chemo sessions. I am not coping well. But I have not let mum know this.
I'm struggling and dont know how to cope with all the family dynamics.
