Hi everyone, I'm reading all the different comments on how as a parents you all choose the best way you felt was right for your family I an absolute awful situation. I don't know if I chose the right way or not, whether it will back fire. I hope not!!! But for me my children were 6 and 4 at the time of my diagnosis. My conversation with my children was very simple, I have a bad germ in mummy's boob, unfortunately they have to cut it off!! If they don't I will get sick and we don't want that. I also have to have some medicine that will make me sick and my hair will fall out. So mums going to look a bit scary for a while but I have the be out amazing doctors and it's going to be ok!!! Now do you want to come and help me find a wig so mummy doesn't look like an egg!!!! " lots of laughter" so we went together and picked out a wig and we called it " Gloria" this was incase when I was taking them to school and it wasnt sitting quite right they wouldn't say" mum your wigs not straight" they would come over and say in a little voice" mum is that Gloria ?? I live in the country so I had to leave my boys for all my treat then fly back the next day. When it was time for radio I would fly out on a mon and home on a fri. Always with a little gift , always with a great big smile!! Don't get my wrong, I have been in the darkest of places with this awful thing, but the one thing it was not going to take was their childhood. I continue to be involved not only in their sports but have also continued with my fitness. I'm throwing everything I have at this , being fit, what I put in my mouth and trying to have peace of mind. The last one is a little tough. When they eventually realize that is was in fact cancer, I hope they think back and instead of getting angry at my for not telling them the whole truth. They look at my and think how strong not only their mum was but their dad , grandparents and their whole family. Like I say to them all the time, bad things happen to good people, fit people. My niece was born without a hand, she is swimming for state, my son at age 5 was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, he is the fastest 100 mtr boys 8yr onl ATM . You just have to keep fighting!! Strength to you all, and keep telling those precious kids how proud and how much you love them everyday. Xxx
