@Sazbe I emphasised very heavily that mine had been found very early, unlike their mother's, and that it would all be gone tomorrow. My nephew was particularly comforted by this. He asked me to repeat it several times. My niece is a different kettle of fish. She asked me only a couple of weeks ago if she was going to get cancer. This question comes up every few months. It's heartbreaking.
This isn't where I wanted this chat to go! I'm so sorry. I suppose the point is I'm still here, and so are the kids. It was not easy but we got through, and you will too. One step at a time. K xox
