hi Suegen
its not easy being sick and having children. I have two children 5 and 3 and I have secondary breast cancer so I understand how frustrating it is to be missing out on all the normal activities other mum's can achieve. Your children deserve YOU, whether you are sick or well. They will love you no matter what state you are in, so try not to despair. Sure, you may not be able to do all those things you want to, but you are alive right now so try and live in the moment and not the future or the past. Its a hard thing to do, but you will find much more peace in the 'now'. Don't listen to a prognosis, ever. They are often wrong. You must keep your mental health positive, and if you are in Melbourne I can give you the name of contact if you have exhausted conventional treatments and want to try some other avenues, to help boost the immune system.
Chin up.
Kind regards
