Hi @Marketta, like @jennyss I don't have children, & am older, but everyone responds differently to chemo, & you won't know how until you start. Luckily my chemo is now a fairly distant memory , finished 2 1/2 years ago.
A couple of things, though. Have you ordered/ received your My Journey kit?
Are you aware that their is a Young Women with BC group on here?
Lastly, when having chemo, friends and family will want to help. Accept the offers. Maybe have a list of things you need help with, so if someone asks "how can I help?" you have a few things to suggest.
As a mother, I'm sure you'll want to keep things as "normal" as possible for the kids. Just think about whether there is someone you would trust to help out by taking yoyr daughter to school occasionally. There mey be occasions when you just don't feel up to it, and having a backup plan is a good idea
Take care
