After the shock of another cancer diagnosis in our family (my mother & dog have both had cancer in the last 5 years), my Dad has now been diagnosed. my 11 year old son is struggling and isn't wanting to attend school. I have informed the school of the situation and they are going to get a mentor involved to try & help Ben at this difficult time. I have also contacted the Macmillan helpline and I am getting some information sent out so that I can get my children through this in the best way I can.
If anyone else has been through anything similar please could you tell me how you dealt with it. It's hard enough for us adults to cope with the effects of cancer let alone the children.
I will update this blog with my own experiences as and when they happen.
