Hi coco65, welcome but sorry you're here too. The fact yours has been caught early is great. If surgery and radiation are all that's needed that is a blessing. I was diagnosed January and an doing chemo at the moment followed by surgery and radiation. It is very scary to have this,but everyone here is so supportive and able to offer advice as everyone is at different stages in this process. Maybe the kids just need time for it to sink in and when you have a clearer picture of the situation they will settle. It's a lot to take in for sure, but I'm wishing you all the best.
