Hi,
All the comments that have preceded mine, I concur with. Finding strength in adversity is challenging. There will be dark days for you, as you are grieving the loss of your child and the loss of your previous life without the diagnosis of cancer. For me, writing a blog, has helped me make sense, keep focused and as a legacy in case the outcome, is less than I plan for. This site is invaluable, as only other women with TBNC know how it feels to have this diagnosis. There is too much 'negativity' in the diagnosis.
There is great hope and applying both the allopathic and traditional methods of health treatments is a good idea. Time to call in those favours and ask for support. Finding a way to involve your children without causing too much fear, is also important. In this, others will need to assist, as I have grown sons. There must be some support from the Cancer Council in this. I am sure other women on this site, would have solid strategies.
Take care of yourself. It is a marathon, not at sprint, and an exercise in patience. My thoughts are with you.
God Bless,
Te
