Thanks so much for your reply. At first the network on this site seems a little daunting but it seems fantastic and so supportive. Not sure if you just keep adding thoughts or to look at other peoples posts? I'm sure I'll have lots of time in the next few weeks to have a good look. Everything went well telling the kids. I read everyones responses and it all gave me so much strength. It is quite a scary journey. My daughter asked last night if my hair would grow back, so it went from there. They were easily distracted, so I only gave a little bit of information, but feel so much better, as she said that I'm always on the phone!! So they do notice alot. I hope you're doing well now. Thanks again for your reply and support.
