im not sure if this is the correct place to post this but...
I'm 15, and about a year ago my mother was diagnosed with leukemia. It was terrifying, but for around 6 months, it seemed like everything would be all right. However, it seems like there's been some sort of mutation?? I'm not sure what is the problem exactly, but she's gone through six different medications and nothing has worked.
The doctor have basically told her the only option left is a bone marrow transplant. And, all things considered, she has around a 30% chance of surviving it. And I just... can't accept it really.
I just can't fathom a day where I won't see her in the morning, or talk to her about school, or even without getting into an argument with her. I just really can't deal with it at all and I keep having random breakdowns. But I just really want to be strong and happy for her, so she can at least enjoy the life she has left and not feel like a burden.
I really really want to make her happy but I simply can't cope with any of this.

I just really can't deal with it at all and I keep having random breakdowns. ... you are 15, and nobody would expect you to keep up a 'brave face' for 100% of the time; also it shows your mother that you care. For your mother, try not to let the bad feelings control you: concentrate on making the time that you have into quality time: take some photos, have some embarrassing conversations, ask her about when she was 15 ... try to make every day count, and don't feel guilty about showing your feelings. You're only human, and that's what humans do. For yourself, you need to look around for support. father? grandparents? aunts? Maybe a school counsellor. You need someone who will help you let out the feelings building up.
