  • Hi there I think we have to go through the surgery, additional treatment before we can start to process. You don’t say how old your daughter is but you will be strong in your own way. Don’t try and be a hero, do what you need to do but be honest with your feelings. Accept help. I have joined a support group, I’ve only been twice but the room was so full of positivity and there were people there who had cancer 20 years ago which shook off the death sentence I thought I had. You will find your own way to make sense of this
