Dear Linda,

I do hope your surgery has gone well and you are in recovery now and feeling some relief at least.

I don't know a lot about this at first hand but I feel that if you discuss your situation with your nurses/oncologist? they will be able to help with support. By support, I assume you mean all the practical things. Your children will be only too eager to help Mum as much as they possibly can. My gut reaction is, hang the hoovering, hang the other chores, as long as your lovely family can sort out your meals and theirs and are there with plenty of (gentle) hugs, you will all be fine. I totally relate to the fear of the unknown. This is one of my biggest issues with getting ill/having to have surgery. I imagine most people would say exactly the same. Rest as much as you are told to, and day by day you will become stronger and better able to gradually get back to your normal life. Don't rush your recovery and take things day by day. I feel sure your children will go along with this as if it were second nature to them. Please try not to fret too much although I know that's easier said than done.

Look after yourself x
