Just my opion but, I was sure glad that my daghter was weaned already
when I had to do the chemo. She did nurse 2years and 7 months mind you.
I sure didn't feel well enough to take care of them somedays let alone
provide her food. Somedays weren't bad but some where. Remember not
something I won't do again if  had too  don't plan on letting CA get the
best of me. That was 2 years ago , we are doing great and a don't want
to forget that. I wear my pink ribbon mst days to remind people we can
get through it. My kids get tired of seeing the pink ribbon somedays
they say don't wear that today, don't tell people. Sometimes I leave it
home but, sometimes I insist because I tell them its part of me and I
can't just forget it. If I can encourage one person to do a self breats
exam and find it early and be treated sucessfully its worth it. Keep
thinking positive thought it does help you get through it. I'm looking
forward to going back to school to get my BSN and then on to Midwifery
School. Never let your dreams go!!
