Mums Cancer Diagnosis

While visiting mum in hospital on Tuesday, her CT scan showed stage 4 lung cancer. We don’t know the exact type yet or treatment but will in the next day or two following a bronchoscopy. I am a mess and don’t know how I will function with life again. Mum and I are very close. I’m trying to find a place of hope, positivity and a strong place to support Mum but it’s too scary, overwhelming and uncertain. I feel like I am already grieving and the pain unlike anything I have experienced before.
