I am really worried that my mum might have cancer - this has not been confirmed, she will have a biopsy next week, but it is a strong possibily. It was suggested that she might have lung cancer - she has never smoked. Her GP said he did not think lung cancer was likely, but a nurse at the hospital thought it was possible after she had a scan. She has a persistant cough, weight loss, fatigue, hoarse voice, breathlessness. I don't want to lose my mum. I don't know what to think or do. I feel fine one moment, as though everything is normal, and then I cry. I only found out that she might have cancer today, from my dad. My mum is 60 years old - too young to die. Of course we don't know for certain that it is cancer - nothing has been conclusively diagnosed yet. I am hoping it is something else: pneumonia, COPD, anything but cancer. I am hoping that is treatable. If it is cancer, there is a high chance she will die because she went to the doctor so late. She should have gone in the Autumn when her cough did not get better.
I don't want her to die. I don't want my mum to die. I am so scared. I have a splitting headache from the stress, and feel awful. I just would like some reassurance really.
