Hi there...How are you doing?

I don't have breast cancer, I have lung cancer. The hardest part initially for me was telling my daughter and Mom.

I started treatment in June 2023- I am still going through treatment.
The way I cope is by thinking about my current treatment, not the treatment that may or may not be needed. Just concentrate on the radiotherapy for now. My daughter is older than yours. Be honest with your daughter don't give her the details. Use the cancer word it is okay. Lots of us have cancer. Tell her you have a great doctor and are getting treatment then see if she has questions. Have faith in your doctors and tell her you are getting the best care (you are) and will be fine. You will be okay. I am not saying it isn't hard we all know it is. I cried in my car a lot during the first 6 months. Support groups like this one- or in-person help. Keep us posted.

@aprilradek thanks for your words. You are right , these days I have tried to focus in the present moment and that is helping a lot.
I’m thinking that the final destination of this journey is a life cancer free and I’m not going to let Cancer create fear for the future.
