What Do I Tell My Kids?

Subject: what do i tell my kids?
Date: 04/07/2007

My 28 year old ex-husband has been diagnosed with tongue cancer. They've already removed 1/3 of his tongue, but it has now spread to one lymph node. They admitted him to the hospital to do a round of chemo before he will have surgery.

He is not being very communicative about it with me. My boys (8, 6 and 5) know that he is sick, but they keep asking me questions, like "Is daddy going to die?"

Do I just let him do all the talking? If so, what should I say when they ask me?

Thanks so much for your help.
