Newly diagnosed mum of 2 young kids

My daughter has a severe learning disability and it was not too difficult to explain that mummy had a poorly boob and needed an operation. She’s had numerous surgeries so she was ok with that. When I’ve had appointments where I wanted my husband she has gone to her day centre, which she views as a treat!

 I’m really glad that I don’t need chemo but we’d have figured something out. But give yourself time to heal and recover. Accept help when you need it. I was grateful to stay with my mum immediately after surgery for a few days.  

keep safe

So sorry you find yourself here. Our own minds do drive us crazy but try to hold onto the facts that you have for now, stage 2, no lymph node involvement, both mean you have a good prognosis. The treatment may not be easy but it can be treated and you must keep looking forward. I’m a single mum of a 12year old and I know there are dark days because I’ve had them myself but hope and positivity are the best weapons we have, we’re all here for the darker days x
