    So, we had the talk...
    My husband and I sat talking in bed for almost 2 hours last night and I cant begin to tell you how much better I feel. I told him everything I needed to say about what was bothering me and asked him the questions I needed to. We both cried a little (well I cried alot!) but I think we had a breakthrough. Amongst other things I asked him why he hadnt shown any emotion or tried talking to me about my illness. He said he was just trying to be strong and bottle it all up like he did the first time...

    What an inspiration.
    My sister was diagnosed in april with AML, and a month ago my friend phoned to tell me her dad had been diagnosed with Terminal Pancreatic cancer, and liver secondaries, he was a fit and healthy person, a runner, didnt smoke etc, it seems if your supposed to get cancer you do, without prejudice, no matter how hard you try (even though it seems so unfair!!) I went to visit him last week, when i was at hospital with my sister, and he was a shadow of himself! Yet he still made the effort to sit up...

    How do You Tell a 9 Year Old about Cancer...
    Hello All, I was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2009. I am scheduled to start chemo on September 10th. My husband and I know we will have to tell our 9 year old daughter something as she will start to notice my hair falling out along with other symptoms. For those who have gone through this with younger kids, can you please share how you handled the matter with your kids? The clock is ticking and we know we will have to have that sit down talk. My husband and I want to be able to explain...
