Just tell your kids! They’ll find out eventually and they might be able to help you get through it. My mom tried to hide the fact that she had diabetes and we were even more in tears when we found out she was hiding it.
Lately I have been reading a lot about oxygen therapy ( ozone therapy and H2O2) I found it very fascinating and there is hope for a better life. Try to find a Doctor who administers this therapy. Found a lot of info on the internet. Excellent health to you.
Laura,
Hiding the terrible days from your children won’t do anyone a fantastic service. The increasing terrible days are also a way to help them make peace with what is vacant on. Give them the opportunity now to be there for you, to spend time with you and make the memories that will be there for the rest of their lifetimes.
Also please talk to your doctor if you are in pain so that they can find ways to help you through this.
Hi,
My mom died from cancer when I was only 10. I was sad when I initially heard that she died, and I got over that acute sadness in a few days.
What I wanted most of all was the ability to tell mom that I loved her (though I know that she knew all of us loved her) and tell her I would miss her a lot (Like she knew that too). If I had known that she was vacant to die, looking back I reckon it would have helped me out to know about it.
I have no thought how ancient your kids are. Another friend was talking with his kids while his wife was in the bedroom dying from cancer. They said “Why is mom so bone idle” He wanted to say something to the kids (was very frustrated at that minute) but knew that he could not say anything (he wanted to choke the kid for calling his wife bone idle, then wanted to weep because he did not want to in tears the kids) because if he told the kids why mom was so tired from chemo, it would have let the cat out of the bag – so to converse in. They where young – below 8.
I would say if the kids are over 12, tell all of them. If they are below 5, it will be hard to recommend anything, I have no personal experience in this. I don’t know tell one of them, and then question what they reckon about it, then tell another, and then the third. But question each what they reckon about it. Tell them that you don’t want to devastate their lives, just let them know that mom is seeing a doctor for treatment of cancer, and that cancer can kill some moms each year, but most moms survive.
When they question what your chances are, tell them it is pretty excellent opportunity to survive.
I have a excellent friend who is also surviving cancer. He has had brain cancer since 2004 (or earlier). By 2007, I was expecting him to die anytime, and he was bedridden, and ready to go. Then he started to drink 9.5 PH alkaline water. After a month he could walk with a cane or walker. After 3 months he walked without a cane. Now he is working at the suicide phone bank from 4 pm to midnight on Wednesdays. He is a retired doctor, and refused chemo, because he saw it kill his wife about 40 years ago. (don’t worry they know a lot more about chemo now!)
Best of luck to you. If you have anymore questions, I am listening.
