My daughter

You need to be strong for your daughter.She is the one who is suffering and I completely understand what you are going through as I lost my 24 years old son a year ago.He was very healthy and it happened all sudden and there is something that not in our hands but we can always try to deal with best positive way 

I was very strong in front of my son and never cried.

You daughter's cancer is completely treatable, so please don't overthink too much and aim for positive outcomes.

Spend time with your daughter, keep her distracted, she is in right hand and getting good treatment.

Tell her not to goggle as everyone is different.I am sending you a lot of strength, faith and belief.

Xx

Hello Evelyn1958, I completely feel all your comments. I was diagnosed stage 3 last year. I have two Daughters and although they are much older than your grandson the fear and worry for them is still the same. Obviously you know that because you're worrying for your own daughter and she is 40.  Thinking of my Daughters got me through it. It makes you battle on.  I had a large operation first then chemotherapy.  Its extremely difficult at times but our strength and resilience know no bounds. As a mother, you'll be intuitive to your daughters needs anyway but just to let you know, your daughter will likely go through every emotion imaginable. Some days she will want you there and others may not. I raged when I was diagnosed because I couldn't have been fitter so wondered how the hell cancer had managed to get me but my CNS told me because I was so fit, I would be able to handle any treatment given to me so that was a good thing. As for plans for the future, you will still get the opportunity.  I don't waste time now. If I want to do something I do it.  I also googled, which I have never done as a rule. It doesn't help.  The same as text books. They give you an insight but are generic. Each of us are individuals. We heal differently,  react differently.  Your daughter will get through it and you will also. Make sure you have lots of laughs but also let the tears come too when they need to.  Lots of love xx

Thanks for your words Kat22.  We are taking one day at a time.  I do wish you well.  Love and prayers.  

Hello there. The first thing I would say is it stop googling, just talk to the experts. I had the same cancer as your daughter which entailed three cycles of chemo, debalking surgery and my sixth and final chemo tomorrow followed by maintenance treatment.  I’ve had lots of side effects but, and this is the important thing, because I have always been fit, I have managed the side effects. I have been assured all the visible cancer has been removed and that is the thought I hang on to.  It is emotionally very difficult to stay positive and I do have my dark moments but my way of dismissing these thoughts is to walk every morning before breakfast whatever the weather and to stay as active as possible.  As one dear friend said to me, ‘live for the moment’ Easier said than done but that is what I intend to do. I wish your daughter all the luck in the world and for you as her mum, we mothers we never stop worrying whatever the circumstances. Take care

Thank you for your kind words.  I am happy to say she had a successful operation but we still have a long journey ahead.  She is a very fit young lady so that will stand her in good stead.  I wish you well for a good recovery.  Take care x
