My husband of 55 years has been told he has inoperable cancer. He is very protective of our family and doesn't want to upset anyone partularly during this pandemic where everyone is struggling. Our son lives in USA and our only family nearby are three grandchildren (two in their early teens) who lost their mother (our only daughter) to cancer last year. My grandson is in his late 20s and now guardian to his sisters. My husband doesn't want to burden them with his news but we realise we have to tell them all at some point. He looks well and seems well at the moment but Marie Curie are getting involved so we don't know what to do.
