alright first of all, i know the feeling.
i got drunk for about 2 days straight when my mum was diagnosed.
the best advice i can think of is to keep the pain and frustration you feel away from your mum.
shit is unbearable to deal with, but you have to man up and keep it out of your mums way,
the less she sees you freaking out, the less she freaks out. My mum kept working through the
chemo because it took her mind off it. anything you can do to keep a sense of regular life
through a very strange and scary time will do her good. It sounds hard and it fucking is, but it really
has to be done. dwelling on the shit doesn't help her.
not saying it's not going to be fucked up, it is. just keep it out of her way.
i know this sounds like weird advice off the bat but everyone you know is going to tell you
war stories about their aunt or someone they know who survived ect. i wish someone had told me
what i said when i first found out.
