New to cancer journey - how should we tell our teenage sons?

Hi, 

My husband has just been diagnosed with cancer of the duodenum that has spread to the liver and gallbladder. At present he is in hospital while they try to stabilise his pain and vomiting. We have had initial biopsy results, but awaiting the MDT decision regarding possible treatment options. My main concern is our teenaged sons, 17 and 19. It would be great to hear from anyone else in a similar situation, or can point me to any resources they found helpful for teens. 
Thank you

Cathy

  • Hi so sorry to hear this, for me during my diagnosis I contacted Mackmillan Nurses, and they sent out some great leaflets for this, covering lots of topics, specially designed to help everyone understand and answer the questions towhat is going on. My daughter was 14 when I was diagnosed,
