I said I would post the little leaflet i wrote for my little ones to read so here it is....
Mummy and her Special Medicine J
Mummy had a little lump in her leg. The lump had something bad in it called Sarcoma, which can make you feel very ill K. So Mummy went to the hospital to have an operation to take the bad lump out of her leg. It didn’t hurt her as the doctor did it while she was asleep.
Now mummy’s leg is getting better J
The doctor wants to make sure the Sarcoma from the lump doesn’t come back. If it does it could make Mummy very ill. The doctor will give Mummy a Special Medicine to make sure it doesn’t come back again. Sometimes the Special Medicine will make mummy feel a bit sick and very sleepy but the doctor will give her another medicine to make Mummy feel better if this happens. The Special Medicine will make all of Mummy’s hair fall out, but when Mummy has finished taking her Special Medicine, all her hair will grow back J
What is Sarcoma?
Sarcoma is something which grows in the body that shouldn’t be there. It can make you ill. Doctors can give you medicine to make it go away.
