Jules,

If your Mum is like other mothers she will probably want to help you whether or not it's a burden for her to look after both you and your Dad. Rely on her if you have to. It's important to have someone else around when you're undergoing treatment. If you don't have somebody from the Leukaemia Foundation or provided by the treatment center (covered by insurance, perhaps?) I think you should ask your Mum to help you, at least to get through the hardest days. Caregivers deserve regular breaks but they can also summon stamina and strength when it's necessary. She might surprise you.

Today is Mother's Day in the U.S. and I think you just had the same holiday in Australia. Hooray for mothers! I hope you find other sources of support but you've got one in your corner already.
