Hello, I am new to the community. Almost 2 weeks ago my partner received the news she had lung cancer after being told initially it was tb. We have held off telling people except our closest friends and family. We decided not to tell our 11 and 8 year old until we had a treatment plan and specific details, which we received yesterday.
The cancer has spread and she starts treatmwnt next week. We are going to talk to the children today. The hardest of all conversations.
Any advice based on similar experience gratefully received.
Thanks
You sound a wonderful father, . It’s these moments that matter.
Xx
Just doing my best like all of us for the people that matter....
