Hi Kys,

Firstly, welcome to this amazing online community and secondly, very sorry we are having to meet you this way.  

I hope your treatment is going well and you haven't been too sick.  I think you are definitely doing the right thing with including your treatment in this journey.  I was diagnosed at 34 years with 2 young daughters, aged 5 and 2 at the time.  I was devastated :(  I can honestly say that my girls were a fabulous distraction and my hubby and I both decided very early on that we weren't going to hide anything from them.  We talked about Chemotherapy and subsequent hair loss and found the book 'Safina and the Hat Tree' to be fantastic!!!

Sam thanks for the advice on the book. I have it on order. I find out next week what treatment I will be having. No doubt I wil have questions for you after that. Thanks again.

Hi Cheryle, I'm happy your through the worst of it. Thanks for your response. I feel better hearing from women like yourself and others that have been upfront with your children and they have coped with that approach.

Take care

Kys 

Thanks for your response's. Your info will help me big time. I don't know any other young mum's with bc to get advice on how to handle this. I just wanted to know I was doing the right thing by my kids. I have joined your facebook page so you will see me pop up soon.

 Found out that my bc has not spread to my lymph nodes and that my margin of saftey was all clear. My bc is a grade 3 Triple negative and I will start chemo in approx 4 weeks. I'm glad I have a break for awhile before chemo starts.

Thanks again guys

xoxo Kys
