Help me deal with chemo being a mum ?

hi guys I'm a 28 year old girl who started chemo last week for bowel cancer. Basically I had my beautiful baby in April last year and have had lots of challenges to overcome since, I had a traumatic birth with c section and lots of infection then I had my gallbladder removed where they discovered part of my bowel didn't look quite right. After having the part of bowel removed the discovered cancer so I am now on chemo for 6 months, my daughter is honestly the best baby ever and is always so happy and content but I am having a really hard time juggling chemo and being fun mum to her. I feel she is passed too much from family members and I am struggling emotionally. Anyone got any help how to deal with this ?? I love my girl sooooooo much and want to be the best mum in the world to her.

  • Hi,

    It must be very hard when you have a little one but you have to sort yourself out first. I'm sure your daughter and family are happy to help. I found it very tireing and keeping a diary helped so I know which days I felt ok.

    Good luck and I hope it all goes well for you.  Claire x
