How to tell children about cancer?

Hi all,

It’s the news you hope you’ll never have to give, but what do you say to your children when you’re facing cancer?

At a time when you’re trying to get your head around a diagnosis – maybe yours, your partner’s or a parent’s – how do you break it to the kids? And where? When? Should you tell them at all?

This article, with insight from our very own Nurse Martin, is a great guide – How do I tell my children about cancer?

Let us know what you think.
