My daughter was 14 when I was diagnosed... I was honest with her right from the start... she had a little cry & ask if I was going to die & once I explained everything to her she was fine & We tried to keep things pretty normal for her & she also had the great support of 2 older brothers as well. I also spoke to her school teachers so they could support her if needed.... So I think honesty is the best thing..you will be surprised at how the kids can actually get you through some of the tuff times.... I wish you all the best with your journey & the best advice you will hear is take one day at a time & take time out for yourself...& come on here whenever you need to....there is so much to learn & so many lovely ladies to talk to...... Take care:) Christine:) xox
