[quote=Anonymous]My sons friend had a brain tumor at 18 months. Had two surges. Several rounds of chemo. I let my friend lead. Did she want play dates? Was she more vulnerable to germs? Visits in the hospital? At home? My son didn't realize what was going on, other that his friend had an illness serious enough that she had to go to the doctor and get treatments. He could relate to that basic concept because he'd been for asthma problems that required hospitalization. I explained when she lost her hair (shaved and chemo) it was because of surgery and drugs. Basically just explained along the way. Kept it light, more matter of fact. Kids just want to play, you know. Sick and well kids. My son's friend is 8 now and doing fine. I'll keep your friend in my thoughts as well. [/quote]
