Your Mum isn't really listening to how you are saying things. All she can probably hear is "death sentence" and "how the hell am I going to cope?" or "what am I going to tell the kids/partner/friends/family?".
She has a lot on her mind and it will take her a little while to work through everything that she is feeling emotionally. I don't think she will come back down to ground until the results are in. All I can suggest you do is stay in the background and be as supportive as you possibly can. She is not angry at you, she is angry at circumstances. She is hating what her MRI may or may not show up.
You have apologised and once she can focus again I am sure she will realise your 'faux pas' as it were. I am very guilty of the foot in mouth syndrome and having to apologise that what came out of my mouth was not meant as it sounded.
When the results are back, whether good or bad news, your Mum will fall apart. She will need comforting and kind actions. You are a good person and you will know what she needs instinctively. I wish you both the very best of luck at this worrying time. ]
Sit her down, apologize, then tell her you really didn't mean it in that way. Maybe even write her a letter, so you can say everything you need to.
She will forgive you within time. Say you should have never joked about something as serious as cancer.
P.S, she doesn't hate you. She's just upset you'd joke about something like that. ]
you could sit her down and tell her what you really meant.
then explain to her how much you really didn't mean it and how much that would hurt you
if anything like that were to happen to her.
give her some hugs. :] ]
Buy her something really nice that she likes and tell her you were just joking around that you would never want that to happen to her. Im sure she'll forgive you. ]
