Scared for my mum

I’m sorry duckling22, you’ve all had a horrible shock to find yourself here again. As hard as it is you have to wait and see what those results are. Mine was in my lymph nodes and it hadn’t spread further so just wait and see after the scans. Take it one day at a time, deal with what the next step is, it very easily becomes very overwhelming. There’ll always be someone here who can answer a question or offer some advice. There’s also a friends and family forum but I have noticed it’s not as busy so feel free to stay on here. Massive hugs xx

Thank you. I've just found the friends and family one and am taking note of all the hints and tips given for prepping for chemo. Preparing to explain to my 4 year old too that his nanny is sick. It just feels relentless. We're three months in since she got the diagnosis and things just feel like they're getting worse and I needed to get it off my chest. Thank you for taking the time to read and reply x

I had my first BC when my daughter was 4. I told her I had a naughty little lump that needed taking away and that the medicines might make me poorly but I was going to be ok. She accepted this really easily and coped very well but I didn’t loose my hair so it might have been different if I had. She’s 12 now and has of course needed a bigger explanation but keeping it very simple worked for me, good luck xx
