My teenage / adult boys just don't want to talk about my cancer. But we make a point of cuddling and I just tell them...I might look awful now but I'm doing everything to ensure I am around for the long haul. I do ask them to do tasks for me, like carry out the washing basket or help me hang it out. Something they just wouldn't think about. Although they still do it begrudgingly, as normal with teenagers. I think they actually do like to help. They will help with meal prep too if I ask...but I always have to ask.
