Hi Alice,
All in I have been battling cancer since 2001 and through personal experience, I found that my family took my illness worse than me. My daughter was my strength but my 2 boys didnt know how to deal with it. The fact that it was BC made it worse for them to talk about it. They told me they felt helpless and that was despairing for them. I am a pretty strong person and found that I could laugh about my illness. Dont get me wrong, I had terrible days were I wanted to giveup, but they pass just like they appeared. I found, by talking to my family, they in turn, talked to me.
I hope everything works out for you and just remember that your not alone....!

God Bless
Geraldine
