I never thought I'd have to write something like this, especially at 25. Hi my name is Robyn and my mum was diagnosed with Small Cell Lung Cancer 3 years ago. Today we found out she probably only has a few months left, after our last-ditch attempts with Immunetherapy failed. I'm one of three girls, with a devoted, loving dad who is struggling to stay strong. 

I don't know how to be there for everyone and still stay positive for mum. I've always been quite level headed compared to my sisters but when we broke the news to my 18-year-old little sister it broke me. How can I lie to her and tell her everything will be okay when I don't believe it? How do I get up in the morning and go to work when mum can barely move and sits at home waiting to die? 

I want to know what I can do to make her comfortable and happy. Does anyone have any charties or support groups in Hampshire that they could recommend? Preferably Portsmouth based. I feel like we need to make the most of our time as a family but I have no idea where to start or what to recommend to mum without making her feel like we've signed her death warrant. 

The worst thing is that all I want to do is run away and ignore the issue, in the hope that when I do eventually come home she'll be back to her bubbly lively self. 

Any advice would be greatly appreciate x
