Please Advise - Just Found Out That I Have Breast Cancer

[wdmmom]

I'm so sorry! How terribly scary for you!

I would suggest talking to your surgeon/doctor and find out whether surgery is an option, how invasive it will be, whether chemo or radiation will be necessary, etc.

Until you get all of the information on treatment, recovery, etc. I wouldn't say anything.

Jan,

I pray that God's healing hand rests on your body. That he cradles you in his arms so that all worry and fears diminish. Stay strong in this battle. It will be a tough road but you'll NOT be a lone in it.

You may find that your daycare families will provide you with a lot of support.

I had one mother who took a day off to stay with all the kids while my dh and daughters went to my last chemo with me the first go 'round. Another mother took me to the hospital for blood tests when I was too tired to drive. Another mother took the day off so that she could sit in the hospital with me all day while I had chemo. One took my kids shopping and out to lunch one Sat so I could sleep all day. Others brought my family dinner when they picked up their kids.

Not all families are that giving, I understand. I did have one family that termed because their 3 yo was already having night terrors and knowing that I was going to die would be too hard on him. (OK, I had no plans on dying.)

You will also have people coming out of the woodwork like ****roaches to provide you with unsolicited advice. Be sure to take it all with a grain of salt. Do your own investigating.

You will also have friends pull away as if they're afraid that cancer is contagious. It's not. My best friend pulled away. I finally called and confronted him. He said it was because he didn't know what to say to me anymore. I asked what did he usually say when he saw me - hey, how's your day going. I said that was what I wanted to continue hearing.

Praying for strength and peace that passes all understanding.
