I'm very sorry to hear this, I wish you and your mom the best.
These are questions you should ask your mom or your mom's doctor. Her prognosis depends on a lot of things, and many cancers are very treatable.
I really encourage you to sit down with your mom and tell her your fears and concerns. I'm sure she's going through a lot right now, but I bet she's going to want to help you understand, too.
If it's too difficult for her to talk about, try talking with her doctor. Also, see if there is a family members of cancer patients' support group at the hospital where your mom is getting treatment. You will be able to talk with people who are going through what you and your mom are going through.
Most of all, don't be scared to talk to your mom and tell her how you feel. Be there for each other.
I wish you the best of luck.

Wow, what a thing to deal with at the tender age of 14. I can only image how you and your mom are feeling. I lost my mom 5 years ago when I was 22 so I know how scared you must feel right now. First of all, I would suggest talking to your mom about your fears. Maybe you and her can do research on the type of cancer she has together that way if you have any questions, she can help you understand. Also, your mom can set up an appointment with her doctor so that you can come with her and ask the doc any questions you have. He will be better able to help than we can. I've included a great link that talks about Primary Bone Cancer and the different types. Maybe this will give you some things to think about and to ask your mom and her doc. I would sit down and make a list of all your questions, all your fears that way you wont forget something.
Its OK to be scared. Everyone is scared or frightened of the unknown especially when the unknown has to deal with an illness of a family member. There is no rule that you have to be strong for your mom. She wants you to be honest with her and she wouldn't want you to struggle with all the emotions that come with the diagnosis on your own. Take Care and God Bless both you and your mom.

I checked up and could not find any certain statistics, because I do not know the kind and stage of your mom's, but there are many treatments for bone cancer that can control it, and patients can live longer in good condition. Try to make her feel comfortable and stay with her as long as you can, do the thing she wants you to do, i remember when my mother was sick, I would try to do the things she liked even if she does not ask me for, and at the end the only daughter she remembered was me.
The quality of time is very important, and you are going to remember that for ever. Remember that tomorrow soon will be yesterday. Do not worry so much about the future. Pray a lot, God is always with you.

Well don't put Mom in the ground yet. Medicine has come a long way and there are soooo many cures and treatments for cancer these days. You could goggle it and get some information and then sit down and talk to you Mom about it.
Let her know you concerns and be very supportive of her. Cause she is more worried than you are cause she's your Mom and she wants to be here forever to see you to your grown up years.
stay strong and if you pray, pray often the you will love each other harder. and live each day like it is your last day so that you have great memories of everything good bad and ugly.
good luck and i will be praying also.

I knew somebody who was diagnosed with cancer, and was told the average survival period was six months. He was still alive 10 years later.
Both of my parents died of cancer, my dad when I was a little younger than you, my mum when I was in my early twenties. That was a long time ago now. I can't promise you anything, but the treatments have got better and better as time has gone on.
Be brave, and be strong for your mum and yourself. She will need you now, and you may have to grow up much quicker than you had planned. Good luck.
