2 chemo down

Thank you, My 1 year old doesn't know whats happening. I've tried t explain as much as I can to my 4 year old. She knows I'm taking medicine that will make me sick. She knew I'd lose my hair, but it'll be find because it'll grow back. The little love asks every day is my hair growing back yet. She saw my scar the other day and asked where my boob has gone, so she was told the doctor had to take it off because it was sick and couldn't be fixed. But she is a handful and I know she is just acting up because of everything that is happening. As for the chemo 1 and 2 have pretty much been the same and been very sick ):Vanessa

Hi Ness, so sorry to hear you're finding it difficult with the chemo. There is a guide put out by the Cancer Council called Talking to kids about cancer. It covers a broad range of topics in relation to talking to the kids, helping kids adjust and dealing with the diagnosis. It might be worth you having a read. My husband and I read this before we sat down with our three boys (10,14,16) and spoke to them about Mum having BC. Hang in there and remember not every chemo is the same. Best of luck Cheryle.

Thank you for your message Louie. I do have the my journey kit. I haven't had a good read through it yet. Hubby has been fantastic and done his best to keep the kids calm and under control. I think I'm working myself up about chemo and I'm trying so hard not too. Just really looking forward to it all being over with.Thanks Ness 

Welcome to the place to go for advice and unloading of frustration. I completely understand about how you feel re chemo, although my children are not young. I imagine having little ones makes it all the more difficult. I hope your hubby and others give you good support. Have you told him how you feel about needing space at tat time? They are probably too scared to let you out of their sight. Have you ordered the my journey kit from this site? It has loads of really helpful information for you and for your friends and family. Take care, Louie
