When I got breast cancer, after processing my diagnosis for myself, I had to tell my four kids.
AdvertisementMy four children were eight, six, four, and 10 months old when I learned I had breast cancer.
I went to many appointments, learned more about my breast cancer type and stage, and prepared to make the decision between getting a lumpectomy or a mastectomy.
It was during this decision time that I revealed to my children that I had breast cancer.
When I got cancer for a second time, I was honest with them againUnfortunately, three and a half years later, I had a breast cancer recurrence in my chest wall.
