I know sometimes I wonder if I have done the right thing in hiding it until Chemo is over but then I think about the pressure I would deal with if she did know.amd it reinforces that all this hiding and working hard and covering up the surgery and the diagnosis is for the better.
There are just days when I need to be 'normal' and not be seen as a 'patient' so I sure get you.
I do hope you mum tones things down when you need her too and if you ever need to vent and get the stress off your shoulders we are here and we really do get it
