Thinking about you this morning - I remembered something else when my mum was diagnosed. I found that she didn't really want to talk to me about her illness, and felt a bit useless when I was trying to support her through it. However, afterwards she told me that she felt this way because I was too "close" to the situation and that she found it more helpful to have her "angry" moments with her MacMillan nurse because she was an "outsider".

I have to say the MacMillan nurse was fantastic -they provide excellent support, not just for the patient, but the family.

Another thing with regards to survival - my mum found her lump a YEAR BEFORE she went to the GP -yet still went on to make an excellent recovery.

[ScummyMummy]

Very sorry to hear this, FF.Lots of love to you and your mum.

[Marina]

Oh fairyfly, so sorry to hear this. Thinking of you both this morning.

So sorry to read this ff - thinking of ou and your mum. {{{o}}}s

I got a bit upset before as i was told i cant go round with my kids as she needs to stay away from children. I felt useless, but after licking my x's shoes for the lasat hour he is finally on his way round to take my boys.

[Slinky]

I've never heard of that before Fairyfly

I know once Chemo. is underway, then they need to careful with regards to infections. We couldn't see my mum for a month, as DD1 had chicken pox, then DS1 caught it

A work colleague of mine from the nursery contracted breast cancer last year at the age of 38. She wanted to carry on working - she cut her hours down though to part-time - but she worked all the way through her chemo.

[fairyfly]

I think this is going to be the hardest bit, having to stay away is tough, i need to be with her
