Hi all,
I've been diagnosed last week (invasive ductal, hormone positive, HER postive) and have three kids and the oldest is five.
My mum, who lives overseas (I'm originally from Europe) has off...
In the beginning. I found that I couldnt have coped without my parents flying over to Tasmania to help out. The day I had the operation, they arrived. Thank goodness, and also stayed a couple of Chemotherapy treatments to see how I could manage. My Mum helped me in the shower, and thank God for them, did all the food shopping, house work, and shopping. No one else did that once they left! It was brilliant. I found I managed fine after that! Just did what I could on the 3rd week after each Chemo.
