Dear Mates,
Thank you for your input on how to break the news to kids about cancer. Your personal stories made it easier for me to talk to my daughter. My husband and I sat down with our 9 year old daughter last night. She took the news in and gave me a hug. I borrowed here and there from your stories and wove one of my own. I feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders.
I start chemo on September 10th and feel better about starting the treatment because I no longer feel like I am hiding something from my daughter. We plan to shop for a wig soon. I think it will be a good way of involving her in the process.
Thank you once again for your kindness and support. My best to you.
Bella
