Hi my mum is 48 she was diagnosed in 15 may 

Surgery in 6 June she finish her chemo now she have radiotherapy and she also have positive she says she have pain in her hand ...she's very sad but not only her when mum is said kids can feel that

Hi Alena,

I am so sorry to hear that your mum has been hit by breast cancer too. Do you know what grade or type of breast cancer she has? I am glad to hear that she has managed to finish her chemo and, that she is now having radiotherapy. We can get pain in many joints due to treatment and, I am sorry to hear that your mum is having pain in her hand.

Unfortunately, a cancer diagnosis doesn't just affect the person who has cancer. It affects all of their family too. It is normal for people to feel sad when they have cancer and, I can understand how kids can feel this too. When your mum is low like this, can you help her by telling her how much you love her and talking to her, as well as keeping her company. Can I ask what age you are and what siblings you have?

I hope that you have a family member or friend that you can discuss your feelings with and who can support you through this. It sounds as if your mum has been through the worst parts of surgery and treatment and, once her radiotherapy is finished, she should begin to feel better again.

Do please keep in touch and let us know how her radiotherapy goes.

We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
