Those unexpected moments of support and encouragement are what makes us able to remain strong and carry on. The mothers of my daughter's classmates at school cooked and delivered meals each week while I was having chemo - I can't describe what a difference that made. It is difficult enough to cope with the impact that a cancer diagnosis has on you personally; how it affects those you love and particularly young children can be even more distressing. Those 'Marvellous Mums' also went out of their way to make sure that things were as 'normal' as possible for my girls, which took such a load off my mind.
