Hi
it’s great to be here with others going through similar situations although no offense I wish I wasn’t but I am
I was diagnosed with cancer just before Christmas and on Monday I go in for a lumpectomy and also some lymph’s out to be biopsied too .
im trying to remain positive but the waiting is a killer more than anything the not knowing etc
i have two dependent children at home my boy who’s nearly 16 who knows all about it but I have a 7 year old girl and at first I thought I won’t say anything at all as I don’t want to spoil her beautiful happy personality and protect her with her been young
however I think I should tell her so we go through it as a family , obviously limited detail age appropriate but my husband disagrees it frightens him so today I just said mummy has a poorly in her boobie that is been taken out on Monday which she accepted but I feel like I should join her in the journey and not be afraid to use the word cancer I say to my husband he’s thinking like an adult and it wouldn’t be the same for our little girl as it would all be positive and brief
I know she would love to help me and cuddle and watch movies if I’m poorly during the journey to success (positive thinking )
mid love to here advice or experiences from you all so I can also share with my husband and we can talk more about it
sending love and positivity to you all
