Hi @MelV83 … that has to be the BEST analogy to describe the cancer, surgery & treatment that I’ve heard - and as you say, something that the kids of any age can readily understand and accept xx. Absolutely, Well done you.
I reckon BCNA could ‘add that’ somewhere, as a great way to share a BC diagnosis with their kids - or sticky a copy of it to the top of a dedicated post regarding talking to kids about BC & how it will affect you & them (with your permission, of course!) …. @Mez_BCNA - what do you reckon??
Sometimes it is really tough keeping it quiet than talking about it - but I fully understand your reasoning re your contract work in particular xx. Yeah, yearly contracts suck!! How can YOU (and the school kids) have continuity (and commitment!) if you/they don’t know where you’ll be every year!
I hope you can get your surgery organised as soon as school finishes … and that further treatment (as @cranky_granny says) hopefully won’t impact you too much. Some members worked all thru their chemo (with time off for treatment) and successfully ‘hid it’ from workmates. So fingers crossed this happens for you, if you need chemo. Radiation (for most members) is usually much easier to get thru.
If you’d like to chat with someone about it to take some pressure off you (and you need an outlet) give our helpline a call on 1800 500 258 ….. (Mon-Fri 9-5) ….
Take care xx
