Thanks for your message. I am incredibly lucky to have the support of my children but sometimes I worry am I going to be putting too much on them.
The hardest part of my journey so far was telling the kids about my diagnosis. I am a single mum so I have had to talk to them about the difficult stuff by myself. I don't think there is a "good" age for children to be when this happens to their mum. A friend from work told me I was " so lucky" I got breast cancer when my kids were grown up. I told her I didn't feel anyone was lucky to have breast cancer and that I would be around to see my children raise their own families.
I promised the kids from day one I would be completely open and honest with them and I have been even though my Mummy lion instinct wants to protect her cubs.
Thanks again xx
