Two times
Been there done that twice. First time I was 35. Two kids....5 and almost 3 at the time and told not to expect to see little one start school. Gutted doesn't start to describe reaction. What can u do? Take everything? Everyone cried as my amazing sister (in law) shaved my aching scalp except me. What a relief!!!!!!!! So quick to get ready and soooooo cooling as it was summer. Such a flattering wig but lasted half hour Christmas day. ....couldn't stand! Onwards........ marriage break down. .....not cancèr, just did. Life happened. .....and continued. By now little one is grade 1......days off 5 year clear. New man..."you need to know what a lump feels like! & how to find" the 'what like this? ' not expected. 2 days later it was confirmed. Another malignant tumor. This time mastectomy. Had an immediate tram flap at same time......one hell of a tummy tuck! Babies now 9 and almost five. All they don't want to see is me bald. Chemo softer........thinned but another wig later ..........no need. On meds. Baby now 11 and first born is 6ft 2" why now I talk?
Scared.....big tests on horizon.
Up side....... oncologist brilliant, honest and yummy!
