As I remember my daughter saying to me when she was very young - “I am the boss of me!”

Out of the mouth of babes! And so it goes - be open to information that is offered but unless you are 4 years old - then find the balance between the opinions offered and the wisdom/faith that you need to carry on. ❤️

Your daughter was obviously given the space and the encouragement to view her 4 year old self as VALUED. I applaud the environment in which she was raised. I have raised two daughters in such an environment as well.

I research extensively, question everything, and require absolute participation in my health care team and decisions. Self advocacy is crucial IMO. Indeed, a mammo found that I was “normal” but I knew I wasn’t and pushed for an MRI… bingo! Not 1 but 2 big tumors in one breast. It may have saved my life or a much more difficult start to BC treatment. A unilateral mastectomy was performed 6 weeks later.

Advocacy is a must! If one is unable to self advocate I suggest calling on a friend, if possible, who can perform that function
