Hi Donna, Welcome to the forum. I'm sorry to hear of your diagnosis and totally understand your worrying about your young son with autism. I have a 24 yo son with autism who is still living with me (I wouldn't have it any other way). I've been a sole parent since my son was 2 yo - no support from his father at all. The first thing I thought of was how I would break the news to my son and how what would happen to him if something should happen to me. I found this scarier than the actual cancer diagnosis but I'm almost finished treatment now and doing ok except for some side effects of chemo still hanging around. You will get through it and sounds like you have a great support network and wonderful partner and family. That is so important. Please stay on this forum and let us know how you're going. Hugs, Rachel xx
