My grandad was diagnosed with prostate cancer which spread into his bones then brain us as a family was mortified. Still 2 years on it's so hard I hate the illness lost so many close with it
This forum is a very helpful place when you do not want to worry family members with some of your concerns. You can speak to other members who are undergoing the same treatment as you for the same type of cancer. This helps to remove that dreaded ‘fear of the unknown’.
Can you share a little more of your cancer journey so far? I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer. The first was 8 years ago and the second 7. I initially had a lumpectomy followed by Tamoxifen . Second time around, I had a double mastectomy followed by Letrozole for 6 years.
Have you told your children that you have had this diagnosis? I can understand not wanting to upset them in detailed discussions, but usually find it so much better for all the family to know what is going on.
