    I have been staying with my dad because my mom doesn't want me around when she is sick, which is all the time. My dad works at night so I spend a lot of time alone since I'm not with my mom. I'm afraid she is going to die and I'll blame myself for not being there more. more...

Imando - 17 years old

It's been an interesting journey going through this feeling so alone. But the person I have developed into I'm proud of.

My mum has had cancer for 7 years, since 2010. So when I was 10. In
2014, it spread and now in 2017 she has metastatic liver cancer
which is significantly growing each day. I live alone with just my mum and am an only child, I'd say it's been an interesting journey going through this feeling so alone. But the person I have developed into I'm proud of.

I found out today without treatment my mum could have less than a month to live. She's currently in hospital and has been for nearly a week now. I'm currently doing my A-levels and I'm hoping to go to med school, so it's odd this all happening in the most important year of my life. But whatever happens, I'm going to make it.
