So...Jr and I just sat the kids down and explained what is going on. We read them an awesome book called Mom and the Pink Polka-Dot Boo-Boo. It does a great job of explaining what will happen during my treatment. A few tears were shed by them both, but they handled it in such a mature manner. They understand that I might start looking a little different and might be sick or very tired. I explained that it's not the cancer making me sick, but a sign that the medicine is doing its job!!Chase did ask..."Mommy, are you going to die?" That was very difficult to hear. I told him that I could honestly say that someday I will, but not because I have cancer. I also told them that having cancer has its benefits. We will all learn to appreciate each other more, and it will make our family stronger. They will also get to see the true testimony of life-long friendships.
Glad to say I now have 2 more soldiers in my large army of fighters!!
Until later...
