How to Explain Cancer Treatment to Your Child.

When you''ve been diagnosed with cancer, it can be difficult to process the information. At the same time, though, your family needs to hear about the treatment that you''ll be seeking, in order to understand what''s happening to your body. Depending on the age of your children, decide which treatment facts will be relevant for them to know, and then communicate them simply and clearly. You might like to use a children''s book about cancer treatment to help you, and a doctor or nurse might be able to recommend a good author to try. Above all, make sure to tell them the truth, and let them know how much you love them.
