You are right.
My daughter was 10 when i was diagnosed and tried really hard to keep things normal at home for her sake. If she saw me upset she got upset so if i was going to have a feeling sorry for myself moment...i did it when she was at school.
In saying that i was selfish and did whatever i needed to get through...nanna naps, girlie movies, chocolate, potato chips, long walks and great reads. My life has changed i dont try and be perfect at everything anymore. Don't care if the house looks like a bomb has hit or dishes arent done. I find that hubby tends to help out more that way anyway lol. Enjoy life and be kind to yourself always..even after treatment is over.
