Hey there. Crikey that's quite a lot for you to get your head around, and my heart goes out to you for your diagnosis. Buggar finding that fighting spirit 24hrs after hearing that... first you need to grieve your diagnosis, process it, get angry, get upset, get strong, be reduced to tears, fall in a heap, get back up again, all of that after such a shock.... once your done doing that... then you go get that fighting spirit and say a big fuck you to cancer. You've got a battle ahead to stay as healthy as you can, but how good are us mums at multitasking, and cancer will just be another "job" you have to do. You know, get kids up/get them ready, drop to daycare, go to oncologist for treatment, pick kids up from daycare... more than 10 years ago I was diagnosed with melanoma cancer and advised I had 6 months. Since then breast cancer and 3 more melanoma. I told my drs then that I had 2 kids to look after and I wasn't going anywhere, its not about dying from cancer..its all about LIVING WITH CANCER. Be kind to yourself, all you have to do is get thru one day at a time. I hope strength finds you. Sending lots of huge hugs your way. 💐🌻😊 x
