My husband has recently been told that he has terminal neuroendocrine cancer with liver metastases. We do not know however what the time frame for his disease progression will be. Hopefully we are looking at several years. He is adamant that he doesn't want to discuss it with our children who are 17, 14 and 9. They are aware however that he has frequent abdominal symptoms and that he's had lots of scans and hospital appointments.
I feel that we should talk to them now but he is against this. I obviously won't go against his wishes but I am worried that they may ask me outright if he has cancer. I don't want to lie to them as It's important that they feel they can trust me in the future.
