I'm sorry, cancer's an awful thing to have to deal with.

What kind of cancer? Is it in the early stages?

How is she coping? It's hard to put a brave face on, but I guess you're going to have to be strong for her.

Early diagnosis will give your mum much better chances, which is why people are asking

I was 14/15 when my mum was diagnosed. It's hard, butthere's not much you can do. Just be there for her, and hopefully your friends will be there for you.

I'm really sorry.

But you've got to keep positive for both her and for yourself. With the technology and treatment available, more and more people are beating cancer, I promise you!

Lots of love to you, your mum and your family :smile:

well...be there for her and give her the strength to fight. Nothing and no one can comprehend the weight of its bearing on the mind so help her keep strong mentally. Get her the Lance amrstrong book. Its inspiring and it'll help her understand that hope is always there. She'll be in my prayers and i hope she recovers. God is there overlooking and he'll keep her strong. Be by her side...she'll fight it off.

I agree with the Lance Armstrong book suggestion, it's a really good idea. It will be good for her to hear his story how he beat cancer. It will help to keep her positive too, which can't be bad coz I've heard the more positive you are, the more you increase your chances of overcoming it.

real sorry to hear about your mum, but coming from a person who's been in your shoes the best thing you can possibly do right now is stay strong for your mum and the rest of your family. My mum was diagnosed with bowel cancer earlier this year, at the time it felt like my whole world was crashing down around me, but she had surgery and hopefully all traces of cancer are gone, though shes having chemotherapy now to keep any traces of it at bay. I really hope things work out as well for your mum as they have done for mine, although the chemotherapy treatments proving very hard for her what with all the bad side effects.

What a huge thing to have to confront.. I really hope both you and your mom pull through it, which I'm sure you will if you stay positive. Definitely talk about it with her, and say how you both feel, but maybe also have a few days off every now and again where you do something nice which takes your mind off things. :smile:

Keep positive hon, like's been said, with the advances in medical technology and things, she's got a good chance of beating this, especially when she's got the support and love of her family and friends.

Will be thinking of you.

<hugs> x
