Hi everyone :)
I am a 42 year old mum to 3 beautiful chdren.
After a dream telling me to have a mammogram early October I was diagnosed with multiple cancers in both breasts. I had a bilateral mastect...
I agree. There's no good age to tell your children you have breast cancer. Mine were 1 and 4. BUT...just as you will get through these hardships, so will they. There is only one option for us all...deal with whatever comes our way the best we can at the time. Oh life can be so challenging, can't it. I have a drawing my older son did for me when I was having chemo. It's priceless. He hated to draw but I'm so glad he did this pic for me. It has little spikes of hair on my head.
He used to go around telling everyone "MY MUM HAS BREAST CANCER" and then reel off all the facts he knew about good cells and bad cells etc. He was so gorgeous. Truth is so very important.
I've been at the computer all morning so I'd best be off...just wanted to reply to you first.
HAng in there...I think you're doing great. Being a Mum...a single mum at that...is hard enough...add BC to the mix...just be gentle on yourself. X
