[quote=Anonymous]op--I am so sorry. Cancer sucks so much. I learned even more than I thought once I saw it up close and personal with a family member. I have an 11.5 year old son who is incredibly sensitive as well. I know that it scared him more when we tried to be vague or sugar-coat it. He also wanted to be present. In fact, he was upset he wasn't included on a hospital visit a few years back when we were dealing with it. I've since learned they are more resilient than we sometimes give them credit for. They definitely pick up on hushed conversations, etc. Kids seem to deal best with facts and reassurance. You've gotten a lot of good advice. It's so hard. I wish all the best.[/quote]
