Breast cancer and courage

Courage is being afraid but going on anyways. I am afraid. I am a first time breast cancer gal and it scares me. My doctor suggested blogging. I have never blogged and will try it out. I hope it helps

  9. So sorry about the pain and nausea. Your courage in dealing with all this is more than enough to demonstrate your love for your kids. You don't have to do all your normal activities with them right now, in fact you can't. Letting them help you when you are hurting can be a positive experience for all of you. Helping you can help them cope, make them feel like they can make a difference in helping you heal. I know your love for them is a powerful motivator for you getting well. Your love for your kids is the only thing they need for you to be a good mom, and we all know your love for them is never ending. I know it must really suck. Hang in there. Love, TJ
