If nothing else gives you a reason to keep going, it's your child. So, firstly, to repeat other comments..."Congratulations" Bask in the joy of having her. Secondly, cancer sucks no matter when it hits. You can still have your amazing bonding time - you may just have to plan it a bit more. You say that you've got a support group so now will be the time to work out how to use them. There will be times when you are feeling down and there will be times when you just don't have the energy. Use your energetic times to be with your daughter. People will want to help you but make sure that the help that you're getting is what you need. If someone asks what they can do, have things ready eg. washing, housework, taxi service to the local baby bounce & rhyme - whatever. No point in a freezer full of food when you really need something else done.
And I'll say it again..."Congratulations" ... you've got this.
