Hello @Allie_P I have sent you a private message

Hi @Allie_P
Hope all is as well as can be for your daughter and the children are coming to grips with it all
Take care 

Allie_P

Thanks @iserbrown
Yes, kids were informed yesterday - all is calm while they process everything. Granddaughter asked to confide in a friend, so has gone visiting today, grandson is mostly in his room.
@Hendrix - I have told my daughter there will be times when I will need to hug her & weep. I am more demonstrative than she is & she tolerates that in me, but neither of us copes with being fussed over, so I guess the apple didn't fall far from the tree!

@Allie_P  -  Our Thoughts are with you both as the kids digest this scary info & work out their roles in their Mum's treatment .... Hugs are good, all round xxx

Allie_P

Yeah - I've been told I give good hugs. 
Sometimes that is the only way to convey the depth of emotion, as words are totally inadequate.

Update ...
So far all is well (fingers crossed)
The kids are still digesting the news - I think it has been presented in such a calm, casual way that they perhaps don't yet understand the seriousness, but that's ok.
The second chemo session yesterday was as uneventful as the first. There have been no side effects thus far, & the rash has eased. After just one chemo treatment that is said to be a very good sign. 
Meanwhile I am sporting a bit of a black eye & some swelling after my visit to the dermatologist yesterday for removal of a BCC. My dear daughter rang last night & again this morning to ask how I was feeling!

That's terrific that there's not been any serious side effects to date & that the kids are going OK.

Bad luck about the eye tho!  I hope it settles quickly & the pathology is all good  xx
