DIL diagnosed with cancer

What great news, long may it continue. Chemo won't be pleasant and the children will have to be very patient when Mummy feels grim but it sounds as if you are a very loving and sensible family who will get through this triumphantly.

My love to you all

I hope everything continues to go well, best wishes to you all Craftycat.

You must be so proud of the way your son and his wife have handled this, particularly in relation to the children. I am sending all good wishes and hope that the chemo will not prove too taxing.

Onwards and upwards Craftycat...sending you all, my love and best wishes....it's surprising how far medical science has advanced.

Best wishes to you and all your family.

I hope DIL continues to make good progress craftycatand is back with her family before long. It must have been very hard for you 'holding the fort' through such a worrying time. Well done and good wishes to you all.

Very best wishes to your DIL and family craftycat.

I'm late to this thread. So pleased that there is some positive news, giving you every reason to be hopeful that all will be well.

Sending best wishes to your DDiL for a full recovery and a speedy return to the love and comfort of her family xx

Best wishes to all your family and a speedy recovery for your DiL x

All good wishes for a full recovery x

Sending your DDiL my very best wishes too Craftycat I sincerely hope she goes on to make a full recovery. I agree that it is best to be as honest and open as possible with young children (without frightening them obviously) as they often fear the unknown and tend to fill in the gaps themselves.

Delighted to hear things are going well. Hope DIL continues to improve.

All good wishes from me too

My best wishes for a speedy recovery to your DIL.

So pleased that your DiL’s operation has gone well. Wishing her a complete and speedy recovery, best wishes to all.

Fingers crossed and yes I do agree when two of my grandkids at 4 and 6 lost their Dad to cancer my daughter answered every question honestly and took professional advice as to things like the funeral which they attended and although they cried and were upset they knew the truth they were looking for him coming back
I ll never forget the funeral it was a bright sunny day and the youngest one was skipping along behind the procession and her Dad would have loved that

Hope all continues to go well. Best wishes to all the family.

Sounds like the best outcome you could wish for. Hope it is all upwards from here on.
