Thanks for sharing

My kid was 3 when I got diagnosed and is 4.5 now. My first instinct was to keep everything a secret. I was so horrified. Then I figured out how to tell her honestly what was happening. It really helped me to accept what was going on to find those words for her

Thank you so much for sharing this. When I received this diagnosis, part of what was so hard about this was figuring out how to tell my 3 year old in a way that he could comprehend what was happening, while I was still coming to terms with it all myself. While I found the words at the start, I’ve realized this is an ongoing conversation I need to have with him while I go through treatment. I’m still figuring it out and would love to hear how others have continued to navigate this with your littles.
