Hi AliW
Isn't all the treatments different? I'm having chemo after my masectomy, where your the opposite.
My kids are 9, 6, 3 and 20mths. My kids have really made me quite proud. They have never really gone out of their way to do many jobs around the house to help out. But when I have gone into hospital and in recovery they have been outstanding especially my 9 year old.
My main concern with the kids was that they would feel worried and upset that I have an illness. I didn't want them to think they overheard anything negative about my health. But I have countered this with telling absolutely all of our friends, family, the school. I usually find it quite difficult to share, but am trying to change so the kids feel ok. And so far they have done really well.
I do agree after the initial shock it is a calmer pathway. I'm off to hosp tomorrow morning for my masectomy. A 4 day stay in hosp. and fingers crossed all goes well.
Take care too.
Heather
