My mum told me she's got cancer... I don't know what to think of it. For the first few days I was numb, I didn't think much of it. But I guess it finally hit me. She could die. Tomorrow. Next week. Or even next year. I would be devastated. I'm really close with my mum, and something like that would lead me to do the worst things. So... what now? Should I pretend that it isn't happening?

There are different stages of cancer. If it was caught early, it can be removed and she will be fine. If not, some cancers can still be treated for a long time. She could die next year, or she could live 20 or more years. Just be there for her and let her know you love her.
ReplySorry you are dealing with this. My aunt who had cancer used to always day "I've got the symptoms but we all have the cancer" meaning that it effects us all and we are all allowed to have strong feelings about it. Be sad, be angry, talk about it, be open about it. Take down those walls where you both have to be "strong" about it and just be REAL about it.
