Dealing with scared family members

Just wondering how to cope with family members that are having a hard time dealing with your cancer.

My mom is having the most difficult time. She wants to blame my doctors for my local recurrence. I need her to be more positive. I know she is scared. I am her only child. I wish she understood her attitude makes things harder for me.

I have talked to several doctors and feel that we are on the right treatment plan.

Anyhow, if you have been through this, how to you cope?
