Telling my boys

Well youngest is 28 oldest 32, I was so calm, matter of fact said it like it is, I hated the look of terror on their faces. I still have my 30yr old to tell, he was working in Harris not fair to tell him over the phone.

The thing is I'm still really calm and accepting, positive and upbeat, I'm sure this may change, is this normal how are we supposed to react. 

Sorry just wanted to ramble on and send positive vibes out to us all xxxx

  • Hi there ...

    I think everyone goes into a bit of shock hearing the word cancer ... have you got a plan of action yet .. once you know what and when, you feel things are moving ...

    It's funny with feelings, you can be up one minute and down the next ... that's why you hear the word rollercoaster so much to do with it ...just go with however you feel at the time .. and know it's all normal .. once I'd got my head round it, I just wanted that thing in my breast out .. and felt quite positive about it after ...

    Your boys will feel like that too .. your their mum, and they'll feel scared of it all too .. but the more positive you are , the more they will cope ... when I told my wonderfull niece, she was sobbing ... and l was so worried for her .. the one thing that helped was saying I'd be the only one in the family with smaller boobs then her mum ... 

    So get your boxing gloves on, and join lots of us breast lasses in the boxing ring ... and together well put cancer on the ropes ... Chrissie x
