Penny that is wonderful. i don't have daughters (a step daughter who is a great support)
i have 3 son's from my first marriage and the eldest was always a mummies sook when i told him i had cancer he was shocked but said he felt i was a very strong person and would beat it. the youngest had the attitude that i was a tough ol girl and cancer wasnt gonna stop me. mmmmmm
the middle boy usually the quietest and distant one , broke down hugged me and said he would be with me through it all, (and he was) he cried with me , saw me at my worst and helped my husband his step dad to stay strong. when i finally finished my treatment 12 months after i told him he cried and said he was so scared he would loose me, almost did,
it is strange how they react but i know all my boys love me but handled this in their own ways. we are closer now.
