A nurse at one of the sites of Mountain States Tumor Institute was diagnosed with bilateral BC. Her husband told me that when they decided to shave her head they allowed their 5 year old son to do the clipping. He was so concerned for her and kept asking her if she was doing o.k When he told me this I cried because I think this is a wonderful way to involve the child in her care. I am a firm believer that children know something is going on and that they need to know what in order to avoid fear of the unknown. If they can't handle it they will dismiss what you tell them. But at least they will have the information they need.
