Good on you for taking the day off - you'll be doing that more before the end of the school year! ;) That is terrific that your BC Nurse has arranged all that so quickly @MelV83!

You are now on the official 'bandwagon' ... and it can be a bit exhausting, so be kind to yourself. Is there any way that your kids' father may be able to step up to the plate & help out now & then, maybe by having them with him during some of your treatment/recovery? or hopefully other family members?
In the mean time, keep yourself as busy as you can, doing things you love doing .... also keep your mind active & busy - otherwise it can go off on tangents on the 'what ifs' ... Take each day as it comes ... and remember that just now, you need to put yourself first xx
take care and all the best for next week xx
