Last year my brother was diagnosed with white blood cell cancer and this was a very hard time for me but now he is on the mend so everything was getting better.
Then last week my mum told me that she has cervical cancer and needs treatment. I don't know what to think, having my brother have it was hard enough but with my mum it has crushed me.
I keep forgetting about it and then it comes back to me like its the first time I've heard it. I try not to be sad at home as I want to be strong but I'm finding it hard to stay strong at school when everyone is asking if I'm okay and giving me pitying looks, I know it is out of kindness but it annoys me.
I hope everything will be okay, I guess I will just have to wait and see...
