Hi Narelle,
Yes I remember the 'Mummy's Got Cancer' talk vividly. My eldest started to cry and hugged me straight away. My son tried to not show any emotion and my baby asked me " Does that mean you are going to die Mummy?" I tried to reassure her, but because the information was over her head even in simple terms, she had trouble with the answer, and let's face it, so did I!!!. I found out later on, that the kids were just in shock obviously and it took some time to just sink in and analyse. Talking to friends and amongst themselves helped each other tremendously. Of course when they are so young it must be even more difficult. Good luck with your family darl and your treatment too. Take care Always XXX Mia.
