Hi Kevins Mum,
I'm so sorry that you have endured a rotten year with losing you beloved husband and having breast cancer as well. I understand you when you say your grown up kids were wonderful but you also felt very alone. Family and friends are wonderful but I found that unless someone has had BC themselves then they really do not understand the true emotional effects it has on the sufferer.
I am glad you have found your way onto this site as there are so many wonderful women that have been through BC like yourself and can understand and sympathize with you.

You have had a big year losing your husband and chemo as well. My heart goes out ot you.
