Hi Chrissieanne, welcome to the forum. I'm sure you'll find a lot of love and support here. My surgeon gave me a book when I was first diagnosed and it had some helpful info on how to tell people. I ended up with a stack of some brochures, books, packs throughout this journey. Maybe you'll get something at your first appointment? Otherwise the Cancer Council has a lot of useful info. Have a browse through their website https://www.cancercouncil.com.au/cancer-information/for-family-and-friends/ I found it helpful to give my husband the books and brochures to also read. He learnt a lot from them that I would never have thought to tell him, and about things he probably would never have thought to ask. Maybe you could get extra copies for your children, or get them to share them around? We also found it easier (and less emotional) to read about the treatment options, details, potential side effects, rather than me trying to explain. Sending you love. xx
