Daughter

hi everyone, just need to vent, oh f..... oh s... oh f..... I was diagnosed earlier this year with Mets, son had testicular cancer in 2017, he all clear which is awesome. Youngest daughter who is 29 rings me today, mum I found a lump, have been to the doctors got an ultra sound tomorrow, doctor has put on the referral it’s auxillary tail. I’m frightened and really scared for her, I have everything I can crossed and I’m hopeful it’s only a fat lump as she has a few of those as well around different parts of her body which her dad also has. Please please be that. OMG what have I passed onto my kids.

    @Glynnis I am 32 and recently diagnosed.  It's shitty and I am angry but it is certainly no one elses fault (even though I wish I could blame someone).  I can't imagine how you feel as a mother... probably the same way my mother feels right now... but do not beat yourself up.  Wishing you and your daughter the best outcome x

    @Glynnis No doubt you passed love on to your kids. And that is ALL that matters. I come from a long line of bowel cancer. That didn’t stop me from having children. It just means we need to be more stringent with knowing our bodies. All women have a one in seven chance. How is that your fault? Give yourself some love and stop kicking yourself. You are worth more than that. Big hugs xxx
