My 8 year old
My 8 year old is really struggling with my breast cancer. He wont talk to anyone but has asked if I am going to die. He cries all the time and seems very angry. I dont know what to say to him - Any advice would be great. I was diagnosed in Dec 2011 and have only had surgery at present. I am now waiting to start treatment.

Hi all, Thanks for the comments on the mastectomy bras. Sounds like we all could do with some help. I went to with the Target bra which has been most successful, but with the radio still very red and sore I can’t leave anything on for long.
