  • Hi, I’m so so sorry to hear of your mums diagnosis… you’ve done the right thing in reaching out to talk. Are there any support centres near you where you can go and chat in person to someone? For example a Maggies centre. They helped my husband last year when I got diagnosed. Your emotions of shock will be all over the place and you will be in denial of the news for a long time and the same for your mum and dad too. Has any of your mums team of doctors/oncologists offered any support and what is going to happen next? 
    Im the same age as your mum and have two sons 28 and 26, all I wanted to do was hug them. Just give your mum lots and lots of cwtches, it’s a medicine by itself… 

    Sending hugs from Scotland. 
    Take care
