Hello,
my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer around 5 months ago. She is on her second round of chemo and had 3 lots of breast surgery and lymph nodes removed. I have been caring for her. Doing the basics such as showering her and doing the housework, etc.
All has been ok so far but now she is losing her hair I’m finding it difficult to stay strong for her. I’m not sleeping and when I do sleep I wake up crying.
I’m looking for any advice on how to cheer my mum up or any tips for dealing with hair loss as her hair was her pride and joy. It makes it worse that I have been her hairstylist for the last 10 years. She asked me to help her brush her hair out today and when I started to take it out I just couldn’t continue. I felt like I had been doing her hair all these years to the point where she really loves it and now I’m taking it away from her and it’s breaking my heart.
Any advice would be immensly appreciated
thank you x
