A moving and profound book. Cancer is bad news. It's frightening to even think about it. Now think how frightening it would be for your children to know you have cancer. How do you tell them? How do you deal with the trauma and the pain? How do you prepare for the emotional and psychological upheaval a family endures when a parent has cancer?

They share their deepest fears and their highest hopes as they provide the reader with invaluable advice, guidance and inspiration. This is a very special gift from families affected by cancer to families affected by cancer. Children are often the silent victims of their parent's cancer.
