See those two little boys? They are mine. The one on the right is Joey, and he was not quite 4 years old when I found out I had breast cancer. Now he’s 8. Danny, the guy next to him, was only 18 months old. He turns 6 in two weeks. The girls belong to my sister. Jordan is on the left, and she was only a few months old when she started sitting with me during chemo treatments. She’s 4. And her sister, Tori, well, she knows nothing of the disease at all, and hopefully never will. She turns 2 the day after Danny turns 6.

I loove these photos! Thank you for sharing;)
Adorable photos! It must have been so difficult sharing news of your diagnosis with your young children. An Ohio cancer support center has just developed a new book to help foster these discussions with young children — http://www.SomeoneILoveisSick.com. If you think it might be of interest to your blog readers and others who seek your advice, we’d be happy to send you a copy to review.
