My mum was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer yesterday and this news has been devastating our whole world fell apart. I'm a only child just me mum and dad and I need advice help to learn how to cope stay strong. Mum is so so strong I'm so proud of her I'm the one breaking I'm so so terrified of losing g my mum. If anyone is experiencing something similar I would love to hear give me a little hope.

Hi Vivienne
I was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer in October 2017, it has spread to my bones. I have 3 children in their 30s and I know how scary it must be.
It's good that your Mum is strong but I think it's okay for you to be scared, it's devastating news. If you can't find other people to relate to on here, I know there is free counselling for families of cancer patients in most local Cancer Support groups.
