hi amanda, great you had a 40th birthday!
next time i get to sydney i hope to do the bridge climb also. it's on my list, along with uluru and maybe coober pedy, ( for starters. )
i am interested in your approach for complimentary therapies along with your oncologist's knowledge.
also chinese therapy, meditation( or finding calmness in reflection) and the gawler foundation approach.
i have looked into this sort of thing also and am " open" to ideas.
my younger son was 10 at my diagnosis. he asked me?" did i cause the cancer in your breast?" for some reason he thought he might have hit my breast one day and that caused it. odd i know.. but i told him.. no you did not.
i wonder what young children and older too think, when their parent is dealing with it.
it is a tough journey for all the family and loved ones. for me i tried to be honest and open about it, and explain to my children, but also to try and let their lives carry on as normal as possible. i wish you all the best.
kathy.
