Hi everyone. 

My daughter is 31 and has just been diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. She received her first cycle of chemo last Friday.

She is a single mum of 3 ASD children. So I have left my poor hubby home alone fending for himself, whilst I am staying with my daughter to look after her and her children and working from her house. 

I can't believe she is going through this at her age. Cry
