Heartbroken, but unbroken
We have just been hit with a TNBC diagnosis. My wife is 44 and we have two young kids. Our world's been turned upside down. There's so much raw emotion and the sense of grief that we all know all too...
Yep, it's important to work out what you need and then ask for the appropriate help. With a young family it may be that you want to have a couple of people on standby for childcare (if there's school or kindy involved, make sure they know and that you have the appropriate friends/family added as emergency pickup people).
I had some lovely friends who brought over a few meals but the biggest things were providing somewhere for my kids to go after school when treatment ran late, and a friend who drove miles across town to pick up my daughter and take her to a school sports competition during the day while I was having treatment.
