[quote=Anonymous]My mom was diagnosed with leukemia when I was eight and I still remember the night she and my dad told us (four kids). You are right, it was hard, and even now, 30 years later, makes me a little nauseous thinking about it. But...they will be ok, eventually. Their lives will never be exactly the same, but regardless of the outcome of your treatment they will learn strength in the face of adversity. A couple of things that helped us: therapy - we did it as a group, I hated it and protested the whole time (4 years, while she was sick and after she died) but it was important. Also, my mom wrote me a letter the night before she went to the hospital for her first round of chemo. I read it so many times I inadvertently memorized it. It was short but focused on how much she loved me. Each of us got one. We also took family photos. I still have mine. OP I am so sorry - you and your family will be in my thoughts.[/quote]
