Oh @Emma1113 I wish I could give you the biggest hug. I’m so sorry this is happening to you at what should be an exciting time for you. I have nothing much to offer you in the way of comforting words, but I did meet someone going through a similar situation to you. I am 44 & have 2 older children & was feeling very hard done by when I was in the ward recovering from my second surgery to remove lymph nodes. Across from me was a lovely younger lady who was diagnosed during her pregnancy, she had a safer? chemo up till 36 weeks, then Bub was delivered. She had her husband & her Mum caring for Bub back at home & she was now having more aggressive chemo. I felt like I had nothing to complain about. All I can offer is to reach out to your support network & ask for the help & caring you need right now. The BCNA hotline is amazing, if you don’t have a McGrath nurse, look up the website & access one - public or private they will support you. Rest & be selfish.
Thinking of you xo
