Welcome to the forum @Emfitz. I hope you find it as warm and helpful as I have.
I am not 37, but I do have kids ranging in age from 18 down to 9 at the time of my diagnosis (late 2017). It's a very particular challenge managing the big C with kids.
@CatRM is a similar age to you with younger kids, and @Sister, while older, is in SA and has teenagers. There's quite a gang of us here. We are all familiar with camo crying in the shower so the kids don't see! There's also a private young women's group you can join.

Hit us up with any questions, rants, vents and even laughs you have along the way. Any kind of major illness is isolating, and the sheer relief of being able to talk it over with fellow travellers is enormous. We get it!
If you'd like to, tell us a little about how your kids are handling your BC.
We've got you! K xox :)
