Michelle - Kristen emailed me to send you this transcript, so you may already have it, but I thought I'd attach it for anyone else that is interested. This is from a teleconference the YSC hosted last year, and has some great advice on how to talk to your children about your cancer. Of course, mine are too young to still even understand it - which is a blessing in all of this.....
