Feeling guilty about 10 days away from toddler for medical reasons

[SnugTurtle]

I need to go away from my toddler for 10 days. Not travel or work, but medical related. DH will stay with them, but I feel so guilty. 10 days is a lot. Any advice?

Are you able to facetime? My friend had thyroid cancer and had to spend weeks away from her children (one of which was a toddler) as she was radioactive but she kept in touch with phonecalls. She also spoke to them that mummy was poorly so had to.go.away but that she would be back on this date, which they marked in the calender. The children coped really well.

Hope you are okay.

Hope your friend is oki now.

I'm Oki, thank you. Nothing major but just has to be done.

Thank you for sharing

She is all good thank you , has been cancer clear for.a fair few years now. It was harder on her then it was the children, they were being spoilt rotten by relatives but she had to stay away and felt awful she couldn't be there. I hope the 10 days go fast and you are soon back with your babies. You have nothing to feel guilty for, you need to be well.
