[quote=Anonymous] My sister-in-law was diagnosed about six months ago with metastatic breast cancer. My son knows that she's been sick, he probably knows it is serious. I cry a lot and there are a lot of serious discussions around the house. But I've never come out and told him that she's going to die soon. When he asks me how she's doing I say to him that she's very very sick but it's never gone further than that He recently asked if we could go visit her and we are going this weekend. I don't know what to say to prepare him She will look different because she has fluid in her abdomen and of course she is bald from the chemo. All treatment have stopped and she will likely not live more than a month or two more. Thanks for any advice! [/quote]
