I see a lot of you have young children and wondered what you told them about your diagnosis? is there anything you regret you’ve said?
I have two grandchildren aged 6 & 9. I used to spend loads of time with them but since my op and chemo this is limited because of my tiredness and their bugs which can coincide with my good days. They know I’m ill but no details - their parents don’t want the C word mentioned. We all miss each other terribly. The 9 year old asks questions and I have to be very vague and make light of things. I had what I thought was to be my penultimate chemo today but my oncologist now wants to extend chemo for another 3 months - just when I thought I was getting to the end date. What can I say to them?
