Guest guest Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Hi my name is and my husband has CML. He was diagnosed in Dec. of 2003 two days after Christmas and one month after our second son was born. We both had a very hard time with this and still do. Since then we have had another baby, a girl (finally-lol) and we are closer than ever before. The biggest problem that we are having right now is the question on how to tell our childern about his illness. He is doing pretty good right now that's why we rather tell them now so it doesn't scare them as much if he gets bad again. I have asked family and friends for advice and all they say is just tell them like it's no big deal or something. My oldest son will be 5 in Nov., my other son will be 3 in Nov.,and my daughter just turned one at the end of June. I realize that my oldest son is the only one who would really understand at least somewhat but we believe that he has the right to know. Please anyone who has any advice I would be so greatful. Thankyou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
