I was diagnosed in July with Breast Cancer and just had my first lumpectomy. I have heard of second and third ops so my eyes are open to the fact that this may happen. It certainly isn't the clear cut, quick process I thought it would be so that is the naivety pumped out of me! I just struggle with this idea that I have to now become 'a lady of leisure' for a minimum of two weeks and to do absolutely NOTHING. We have an autistic child and to do nothing is not optional. Especially, when this morning she threw a load of Rice Cakes around the living room in a meltdown and they all broke up on impact. I had to clean this up using the said mop and Hoover that I am not allowed to use or the dog would have eaten them and become poorly. She still needs me as a Mum so this ideal of resting is just not realistic. I wonder how others cope with home life being a little tricky and not conducive with resting?
