When we found out my wife had Stage 4 Colon Cancer, as with most people in this situation we decided to fight back with Chemotherapy.
We also made a classic mistake of not telling our boys all the details.
Unfortunately this meant our boys became a causality to the situation.
Our aim with writing these children books was to provide a useful tool for you to open up this difficult conversation you need to have with your own family around cancer.
