I am close with my children and generally like to tell them about issues as they are happening; we have an open relationship.
I think they are old enough and mature enough to understand what this means.
I think the information would be reassuring to them.
I think they would want to know, or they have already asked me some questions about their risks of developing cancer.
It will help them understand why I developed cancer or why there is cancer in our family.
I am thinking about taking steps for cancer screening or risk reduction, and I want them to know why I am doing it.
I think they may learn about this from someone else in our family.
I would like them to think about steps they can take to protect their own health.
They already know about genetic testing and want to know how this will affect them.
