[quote=Anonymous]I think 824's approach is a good one. It allows you to be honest about the procedure and prognosis without the word cancer, which many still think of as a death sentence. To 912, yes, OP can approach the conversation in a matter of fact way, but that doesn't mean a child won't feel anxiety about the facts and the future. The hardest thing I have ever had to do was tell my child her dad had died. Do you think that if I had delivered the news in happy song, she would have been any less devastated? [/quote]
