    My daughter had mild autism but she can be hard work . School are being really helpful , they have got a lot of educational aids to help teach her all about cancer . She will never open up to anyone so hopefully this will help her . I’ve told her I have cancer and I’m just truthful with her that it may come back and sometimes people die from it . To be honest with you she seems more bothered about how much battery is on her iPad bless her . I worry constantly about if I ever have to have the talk of it comes terminal . I have nightmares about that and tear up thinking about it x

    I’ve heard from a few ladies that have had a few re occursnces . I suppose it’s something no one knows or can’t predict . I was told I may need more surgery down the line and chemo so they may just treat the reoccurrences as they happen . I know if it comes to another organ then it will be stage 4 . I’m 3 b at the min x
