Hi emsure,

Firstly Good luck to your Mum today with her operation. Next Dont expect too much of yourself

strength wise you can only be as strong as your body and mind are. But you seem to be doing a very good job looking after your Mum and Kids.So all the best for today and the future,and you know where to come if you want a friendly ear to chat to.

Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xxx

Hi emsure, what a lucky mum you have - she has you! I hope her op went okay today - I too have only one boob. It's okay to show your mum how you feel - she will want to share everything with you, its only normal to feel the way you do and she'll always be your mum no matter what age you are or how she's feeling. I hope your mum comes through this tough time just like the strong lady she has been before. Good luck, strength and love. Ann xx

Hi, I too have had one boob removed and she will be ok, its horrible for everyone concerned but you are lucky to have each other and be there for each other. I had my masectomy in feb and cancer nurse told me to be honest to my kids, i have 3 teenage daughters. i went home and was honest to them and i am glad i told the truth. Kids are stronger than we think and they will remember the lies.

Good luck to you all Kaz x
