My father had cancer and only knew about it for three months before he died. The only way I was able to stay semi calm about it was by getting the medical updates about what was being done and staying really busy myself. My dad was also very very positive about it and told me repeatedly that he was going to fight and didn't expect to die.


While dealing with what just happened to mr. lewis. (My children are 9 and 4)  I told them that mr lewis had the best doctors and they were doing everything they could, that he was a fighter and was going to come back to us and that it was no ones fault. I sent them to a friends house for a week also out of town, and just maintained contact by phone once a day. My tk is a worrier on an adult scale, so I reassured her that everything possible was being done and reported all the positives.


I know this was not exactly your question but it's what I have to give.  You have a lot of positives to report about, so just be very strong when emphasizing everything was okay. It worked when my dad told me and I was an adult and it seemed to work with my children when dealing with a very scary situation. We are really always children when our family is sick. We just want to know that everything that can be done is being done.
