Hey everyone
I know I’m not the first and sadly won’t be the last, but I have 2 more cycles of chemo and immunotherapy before having surgery and my right breast removed along with something more in my armpit as that’s where the little blighter is hiding.
im okay and feel that I’m eagerly ticking treatment off my list of things that I’m told need to happen.
i had DCIS on same side back in 2022 whilst nursing my husband with lung cancer metastasis. He passed away in the October 2022, the same month I had my surgery. Times were hard and I still have off days.
The hardest part of this whole process was telling my children, even though I have been told my prognosis is good, but with cancer you just never know. I’m lucky that my children are all young adults, but they have been through enough already!
The roles have reversed, I’m a kinda mum who is always checking in with my family, checking they are okay and now they are the ones telling me to sit down and take a load off! I know I’m lucky to be well supported but I am a natural caring mum. It’s difficult to accept.
Im worried about surgery and would be lying if I said I wasn’t. I feel my outlook is positive and Im a glass half full kinda person in all aspects of life. But I don’t want to tell my family I’m worried cos I don’t want them to worry. I mean should I just be totally honest? I don’t want to burden them.
Any advice would be welcome, thanks everyone xx
