I think that is the hardest thing about this disease for those of us with young kids. It is so hard to tell the children. My little girl was 7 when I was diagnosed with stage IV. I never told her how serious it was but it seemed like every TV show we watched had someone dying of cancer on it. She is now almost 10 and still doesn't comprehend it all very well, she has never seem worried. I pray for you because having to go through this a second time has got to be hard on you and your family. sherryg683
