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.

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

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

my mum (and she is a hard one to please) has told me her Macmillan nurse is lovely

I'm so sorry to hear your news, Fairyfly. Lots of love to you and your mum and the rest of your family.

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.

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.

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