Hi I'm not sure what to say or what I need really. Found out last night that my dad's lymphoma has returned very aggressively and spread to his brain what I'm wondering at the moment is how to talk to my daughter about it. I want to be honest with her as she will obviously pick up on my moods and worry, and she idoloses her grampy. She is only 3 so I don't want to scare her or overload her.
Sorry x
Hi
Macmillan produce some excellent booklets which you can download or order to come through the post that will help you talk with your daughter. Clicking on this link will take you to where you can look at them. The one that I think would be most useful for you is called Talking to Children and Teenagers About Cancer.
You could also have a look at this information which gives advice on talking to children about cancer.
