Hi @Cat2,
Sending you so much love. The breast cancer journey is so overwhelming at any stage in life, but I have found worrying about how to manage being a mama and caring for my kids one of the most difficult parts.
I was diagnosed in December and have 4 year old and 2 year old (who's also never been to daycare). I am seeing my radiation oncologist next Thursday to find out about my treatment plan. I had my lumpectomy on the 3rd Feb. It's the unknown which is the worst part for me. I think I've avoided chemo at this stage, but cancer is a tricky beast.
I've met @CarlyJR on this forum and she's going through a similar journey. My advice is to reach out to others who have been through the experience and can help you with what to expect. The breast care nurse has told me that chemo is nothing like what they make it look like in the movies (just like childbirth doesn't look like the movies).
Happy to be in contact over private message if you need someone to chat to.
Sending love and light. Sorry that you also have to go through this journey. xx
