Absolutely not. I was in complete shock when my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer and I hated feeling helpless and not being able to make it just go away.

You don't always have to be strong and you don't have to feel bad for being upset.

Hey, hang in there. My mum is diagnosed with cancer twice and she's currently undergoing chemotherapy for thesecond cancer (multiple myeloma).

Be strong!
