Hi Leeanne
I had Stage 3 bowel cancer 3 years ago. When diagnosed, my kids were aged 10 and 8. I was worried about how they would cope seeing me undergo treatment but they coped very well. We were open with them about what was happening to me and they took it in their stride. I was really proud of them. Kids are much tougher than us sometimes.
I hope all goes well with your treatment. Try and rest as much as you can.
Wishing you the best
Stacey
