How do I tell my 6 yr old about my surgery?
I am still working on this. I have cervical cancer and have had NO pain or other symptoms to explain why I am going to the doctor. I am just telling my daughter that I have a "bad germ" in my tummy that would make me really sick if I don't let the doctors take it away. But in your case, you could perhaps simplify the matter, and say your tummy hurts all the time, and you need surgery to take the pain away. It certainly helps to minimize the situation. But the kids seem to understand that although going to the doctor sometimes hurts, it does make you BETTER in the end.
