Hi Keirson
I hope you are feeling a little better & on the mend from febrile neutropenia!
I am 2 years ahead of you & alot of similarities....firstly, so sorry to hear about your precious Dad especially at a really difficult time for you - my gorgeous Mum died 2 days after my diagnosis - 2 days after Mums funeral I had a mastectomy; this part of the "journey" was the hardest for me trying to deal with my own mortality & how to deal with Mums sudden death & the grieving process!
As well, I had 2 children to consider, my wonderful husband & a business to run! Like you I had a few stays in hospital due to infection & neutropenia.
Just take it one day at a time & know that before you know it, you will be on the other side of this crappy scenario! You will realise how strong you are & come out of the other end in awe of your body & how it can cope! Your children also will see how you are able to cope & will inadvertantly teach them some fabulous skills! Things do get better....your hair does grow back (this was another big problem for me as I have always been a hair person!) - and know that the experts will give you the right information regarding your treatment etc.
You are certainly not alone in this....this forum is just the best for finding information & meeting other gals in the same boat as you! As scary as it seems now, things do get easier...just give it time.....
Sending big cyber hug your way.....Jenny ??
