Many times parents understate things because they want to protect their kids. Also they may feel that their children (and we will ALWAYS be their chidren - even at 41 or older) have enough problems in their own lives and don't want to be an additional burden. Very common.
Deliberate lies and deception are something that you should consider working out with a therapist or a cancer caregiver support group.
