Hi @Belinda70,
It's completely rational for you to be emotional. I presume you've been recently diagnosed. It's a shock. There are all sorts of tests and decisions to be made. We've all been there. I cried buckets. Your daughter may not know how to process the information you have given her. When my own mum was diagnosed many years ago, I was in my late teens. I just didn't know what to say or do. I went into a kind of denial. As Afraser says, the heightened emotions do settle down once you know more and have a treatment plan. All the best.
