Hello @Shimmer78, so sorry to hear your diagnosis. Although all my children are adults I do have grandchildren, the oldest is 4 and very bright. we found being as honest as possible. We let her know what to expect from the start. "Nanny had a bad lump and needed to go to hospital and have an operation" Nanny's has to have medicine which will make her hair fall out. she has handled the situation very well. She knows Nanny can be a tired after chemo. The most confronting thing for the kids is being bald. to this day if I take my beanie off the little ones are genuinely freaked out. LOL. Hope this helps. Kids are very smart at this age.
