Re: Very Anxious

Oh Dawn,
of course you are worried it is only natural. You have alot to cope with, just being a Mom is a big job, let alone dealing with bc at the same time.

My mother once told me once I have children I will never put my head on the pillow again without some sort of concern or worry, no matter how old our children are.
My Mom like others worried about her girls well being
even when we were grown married women. Of course
it is much different with the younger children. I guess what I am attempting to say is as Moms that is part of our job no matter what else we are fighting.

Please try to be patient with yourself as you start your new treatment. All your feelings are natural and normal you need to hear postive stories of the women who have fought down this disease and are beating it.
Keep reminding yourself of those women, Andy, Christine, Brenda, Steph and many others. It is not easy but it is important to have postive thoughts.

Sending you much love and hugs,
jean
