Hi Lauralaura and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
It's perfectly natural to be feeling scared but my biggest piece of advice would be to stay off Goggle as lots of the information is out of date and it's full of scare stories. If you have any questions please ask them here as then you'll connect with genuine people who have experience.
I'm not a member of this forum but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I think from your post that it's your mum who has cancer rather than you. If this is the case you might also like to join the family and friends forum which is a safe and supportive place to discuss your emotions and worries with others who have a loved one living with cancer.
If this is something that you'd like to do, clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there. Once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
I haven't been in your position of having to talk to children about cancer but Macmillan has produced this information on talking to children and teenagers which you might find helpful.
It would be great if you could put something about your mum's diagnosis and treatment to date into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
