Grandparent diagnosed

My granny recently got diagnosed with breast cancer. No one in the family has had something like this and it’s hut me hard especially because she’s my best friend/ parent to me aswell. I feel like I need to bottle it up as I can’t get upset in front of her or my family incase I make them panic too. She’s stared radiotherapy and after a week I can already see how fatigue she is.  Feel helpless as don’t know what to do to make her feel better. 

  • Hi abbie... please don't bottle it up ... everyone probably feels scared, but trying to be strong to ...I'm a nan too, and I've got breast cancer and I'm the first in my big family to get it as well... l had my operation in July, and there's quite a few of us nannys on here with it as well, it's not easy but we are all coping, and i am doin o.k ...my granddaughter although younger then you is my best buddy, and she has been helping me through, we still have lots of fun, and make the most of every day ... 

    and you just being there, knowing how much you love her, will really help, lots of hugs, and it's o.k to say your all scared, its natural... but you'll all be stronger if you hold on together .. things have come a long way now, and with a loving, supporting family, she will find she can get through this ... 

    Hold on and im sending you a big hug ... Chrissie xx
