My mum got cancer (Hodgkins lymphoma) in 2000, i was only 7. Looking back i can see that i was too young to know about, there was so much to take in at that age, i didn't know what was going on with my mum at the hospital with several drips in her arm, i didn't know what they were for, i didn't know how to care for her at home. She was constantly nagging on at me, it was like the same routine every day nag nag nag nag nag. Then she got cervical cancer, same happened again. Then she got secondaries of the cervical cancer and she still has it now, but me and my mum have massive rows now - i can't cope.
