Difficulties
I told my three kids about my prognosis today. A very unpleasant and difficult thing to do. Robert, the oldest, started crying and hasn’t stopped. Alex, the middle, cried hard, then some time later asked if I could buy him a game before I died (thanks, Alex). And the youngest, Harry, said ‘you’re not dead now?’, so I assured him I wasn’t.
Life with cancer sucks.
I can’t imagine how tough this conversation must have been. Well, in truth, I’ve tried to imagine telling the same to my own daughter and it’s all I can do to not cry myself. Every parent hates upsetting their own children, but what can you do here? They’ve got to know.
Stay strong Euan, thinking of you and your family.
