    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...

I'm so anxious, stressed and fed up I just want to know what it is.

Hi my mum has been undergoing chemotherapy and it has stopped as the chemotherapy has been affecting her heart. So she has been for scans and they have found something so she had to go for the camera down her throat to see a better picture. The doctors found something in her actual heart, they said it is rare so they can only think it's secondary... if not then she has to go for a heart operation.

She has got appointment for a CT scan but the hospital has cancelled her appointment as there machine is broken and they are waiting for a part.

I'm so anxious, stressed and fed up I just want to know what it is. As I am so desperate to find out if it is secondary or not, when I found out they cancelled her CT scan I was annoyed and was going to give up. As It is an anxious wait to find out what it is in her actual heart I'm so worried again and my stress levels have increased, I'm so stressed.
