Newly diagnosed - Just want to hit the pause button
I wish I could rewind the clock and go back to 48 hrs ago when I was blissfully unaware of my diagnosis and still believing that there is no way this could happen to me. I received the call just over...
Hi @missK4t,
Sorry to hear of your diagnosis but congrats on your lovely daughter.
Its normal to feel grief for the life you were living. I found my emotions for my family and children very intense after diagnosis and in that way it helps you to be even more grateful for what you have. You can still enjoy your little family.
There are some services out there for mothers with young children to help with things like housework which you might lije to investigate. Then youll have more time and energy just for the two of you. Mummys wish is one. You could ask a breast care nurse or a social worker for ideas.
Hugs
Michele
