“I know that when I take care of family I don’t think of them as a burden, so why should I consider myself one?' A psychiatric oncologist's guide to discussing cancer with your children:
“Actually, it seems strange, but I am not really so worried about me, I just don’t know how to tell my sons.” says Jane, a 52-year-old woman who was recently diagnosed with lymphoma. “If they were younger, maybe I could just hide it from them, but my boys are expecting me to be there at soccer games and teacher conferences, and drive them to friends’ houses. They have busy lives, they should not have to worry about me, and I definitely don’t want to be a burden on them.
Children under the age of 10 are usually observant, curious, and caring. They respond well to straight forward answers to questions. Jennifer was in the middle of chemo for breast cancer, and her son Tom was 6. Tom would ask his mom about her bald head, but also gently pat her scalp from the backseat of the car. One infusion was on the same day as an event at Tom’s school, and Jennifer missed it.
