My two guys seemed very curious about it when we all found out i had it, they both seemed worried but now use to the idea of it since 2001, my 7 year old went through some anxiety when i had two visits and long stays in the hospital last year so we assumed his anxiety was from that because the visits were not planned but came on sudden and all kids young like that worry from time to time about losing parents. He's much better now and fine with things, after asking alot of questions, like how i got it, will he get it etc..I do find it hard to mask the pain when around them, so they don't have to worry for me when I feel bad, so normally do breathing exercises quietly till pain subsides and just keep on trucking and doin my thing with them. As just to asure you, they do get better with it as years go on and even become very accepting of it and supportive since my oldest really had wanted to do the CCFC walk and get pledges for a cure:thumright:
