My biggest fear when I was first diagnosed was for my daughter. I was worried that I would not see her grow up and that she would not remember me. I think this is normal. You have just been given a major blow and it takes a while to come to terms with cancer. Stay strong and keep a positive attitude. You will make it through this and be there for your daughter.
