6 months pregnant and newly diagnosed

Hi Em,

It sounds like you are doing all the right things and have this under control, despite all the other family challenges. Family challenges are good, but they're still challenges!

I found the fatigue the worst too. Morning sickness in pregnancy was far worse than any nausea I experienced on AC chemo.

You must have a little bub (congratulations!!) only a few weeks old now and right in the thick of sleepless nights as well as chemo.  I hope you're starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Just keep doing what you're doing and know it gets easier in time. 

I've had my mastectomy now and am about a third the way through radiotherapy. My daughter is now 9 and a half months old - again, sorry this reply is so delayed! Hopefully we'll be able to give her a little sister or brother in a year or two once all the rough treatment has come to an end. If not, I'm so pleased to have her that I'm totally okay with having just one child if it comes to that.

Good luck with everything, you'll smash this!!

Marina

PS: I just can't imagine what going through this must be like without your Mum but no doubt she gave you the "tools" to deal with something like this long before she passed away so you can always be grateful for that. xx
