How to talk to your children about cancer

Being diagnosed with breast cancer changes your whole world, and your family’s too.

BCNA and Canteen recognise that a question often asked by parents is “how do I tell my children I have cancer?”. Being able to communicate openly and honestly is vital when it comes to you and your family adjusting to this new world.

We explore:

• the different ways to communicate about cancer to your children
• how to prepare for these conversations
• practical tips on how best to support your children.

You will hear from Sandy Cham, General Manager of Services at Canteen, and Vicki Durston, Director Policy and Advocacy, BCNA.
