Waves on the sand, waiting for the Tsunami...

Hi Jenny

BC is a whole new world that your mum, you and all your loved ones have found yourselves in.  I am sorry that you have had to be a part of this new world.  You have already made a very positive step towards helping yourself and your mum with coping by becoming apart of this website and putting your story forward.

There is so much to learn and as you say the waves just keep coming and sometimes you feel like your drowning but you manage to float to the surface again and carry on.  You just have to and keep going.

I am also wishing your mum a calm ocean while she goes through her chemo.  There is so much advice available through other peoples blogs as to what can help with side effects etc so it is worth spending some time browsing and learning and passing info on to your mum.

I am not sure what area you and your mum live in but I am wondering if there is a support group in your area that you and your mum could become a part of.  The Cancer Council, McGrath Foundation, breast nurses attached to the hospital where your mum had surgery - should be able to put you in touch with a support group contact.  Councillors through Cancer Council or the hospital will be a great help to you I am sure.

If you ask on this website through a post about support groups in your area there is sure to be someone that can help you.

I wish you well in finding some support.  I have always said it is hard for the person going through the treatment but it is just as tough if not tougher for the family and loved ones.

It sounds like you mum is a lucky lady to have such a wonderful caring daughter and I am sure you will be a great support for your mum.  You will need to be strong for her.

Wishing you well Jenny.

LOL, Mich xoxo
