I would definitely seek advice from a social worker asap and if the social worker is unable to help you with your particular situation they will certainly refer you to someone who will be able to.

You are doing such a wonderful thing by trying to help your mum and take care of her but it sounds like she may need some professional help to make her realise that, and also how her drinking and smoking is just going to destroy her chances of making any headway with this disease.

Thinking of you
