Thanks Karen & Chuck.

I really need to talk to my kids about all this before I have to step on a plane to Toronto. My daughter is 12 and my son is 10. Of course they know that I have had a couple of operations , but no one has mentioned the "C" word around them as yet.

I'm just not quite sure how detailed to get into it with them. My son is like a dog with a bone - never stops asking questions. My daughter tends to keep everything to herself (and not ask questions).

My instinct is to try to give them a simplified but factually accurate version, with a positive spin.

Anyone here have to explain their prognosis to kids of a similar age? Any advice?

Thanks,
