I really feel for you, and know how hard the waiting can be.
" I guess it’s hard to cope knowing that my mum is walking around with cancer inside her and nobody is doing anything about it for the foreseeable future. "
Keep in mind that they are doing something about it now - which is planning the best way forward for her.
As @Afraser said this is not going to impact her condition. They know a lot more about the cancer than we do, it is their job after all!
Try to relax and help your loved one through this by being there, helping her practically and emotionally if possible. It's only a question of days before her treatment begins.
Thank you for your kind words of encouragement, @strongtogether
