I Wish Cancer Didnt Exist

my wife just got diagnosed with breast cancer yesterday luckily it isn't to far developed or i would be muc hmore worried than i am. but treatment is still going to be expensive. we have four kids and we haven't told them yet i wonder when if ever we will. i feel like they are all too young to understand.

I've been through it, more than once...and I'm [u]still[/u] here :)

I wish her a speedy recovery and send you both positive vibes.
Well, would you hide the fact that you or your wife is sick for other reasons? I say tell them if they ask, and certainly do not hide it from them. There are many cancers that can be cured. I have dealt with cancer, as has my wife. It is part of life.

of course i wouldn't hide it from them. just i don't think we need to tell them about it at least not now.
May blessings and care rally for you.

Maybe you don't have to tell them yet. Maybe....hopefully, you never have to. I'm sure nobody has the definitive answer. I, like so many people, could offer all kinds of advice, and all it would do is overwhelm you, and it wouldn't resolve or change a thing. I can tell you that my thoughts are with you, your wife of course, and your entire family right now. I pray that you all get through this unscathed....or at least, as much as any of you possibly can.

I'm sorry. That is very difficult to deal with. Depending on what treatment she needs, your wife will most likely be tired and sick a lot. Since it sounds as if you have young children, you really need to see if family and friends will help out.

Be as strong as you can be for her and them . Look into the american cancer society they can offer help as well as many other programs . The research is worth it i promise. I know your nerves must be frazzled... breathe...take a moment and then get right back to researching and preparing now. your strength and resilience will be tested later. Msg me anytime i can only offer encouragement and my knowledge based on my experiences personally and professionally but it may help. I will pray for your family.

thank you
The children need to know as they will feel the changes that will occur - prayers and thoughts are with your family

Someone once told me cancer is a gift. It teaches us how precious life truly is.
