Hi Anita,
Jane and Karen have given some great advice. My children were 9, 6 and 3 when I was diagnosed, we've just tried to be as open and honest as possible, explaining that I would lose my hair and that if I felt tired and sick they were all good signs my chemo was working really well. My daughter 9, came to chemo with me during the school holidays so that she could see that it's all not a big deal (we watched a DVD ate brownies and drank hot chocolates). I've also alerted the school, the class teachers have been great with answering any questions the kids have had. The school counselor is also on board should we need anything (which we haven't yet).
I I wish you all the best for your treatment and family.
