My son has autism spectrum disorder, and is very literal/logical. When I had to had my second DX, requiring a mastectomy, he was 13. I was very careful how much info to give and how to explain it as he suffers chronic anxiety also. Around that time, as us women often do, I had been talking about losing some weight. My gorgeous boy rationalised the situation as best he could based on weight: weight before surgery VS after. In reassuring tones he said to me (about the MX) "don't worry mum - at least you'll weigh less!"7

I also got people to send me funny jokes and videos every chemo day. I had chemo every second Friday so I called it Funny Friday...instead of chemo day. I had enough funny videos and pics to get me through most of it. Took me away from the cannula and to a nicer place!5
