[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Keep the kids out of school tomorrow.  Go get family photos done before chemo dramatically alters your appearance.  Then go out to lunch and go do something you all enjoy.  Spend an hour with each kid one on one and tell them that you are so sorry that you are sick, but that you love them and you will do everything you can to get better.  Tell them that they might feel scared, sad, angry, whatever and that those are all allowed.  Give them each a big hug.

In the next few days, notify teachers, activity leaders, school counselors, religious leaders, etc. who might be abme to help smooth things for your kids during a rocky time.  You should also look for a family therapist.  Wishing you and your family lots of peace![/quote]

I like this idea, there might not be a better time.  Write letters to your children about yourself about your hopes for the future for them.  Something they can hold on to when you are not here.  I'm sorry OP, wishing your the best possible outcome.  An acquaintance of mine lived 3 years with Pancreatic Cancer. He did some extraordinary treatments. He took the time to be with family, travel and canoe with friends  and write a book. [/quote]
