Welcome to Cancer Chat Lad1968h,

I'm so sorry to hear you have been diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer and that your mother-in-law passed earlier this morning. On behalf of everyone at Cancer Chat, please accept our sincere condolences.

I hope our members who can relate to what you're going through at the moment will soon come along to offer their support and advice and that this will help you to find a way to talk to your children. But if you're still struggling please consider giving the Samaritans a call and asking for help. They are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Best wishes,

Renata, Cancer Chat Moderator
