How do I tell my sons about my cancer progressing?

Having honest conversations with grown children about cancer progression takes tremendous courage. Many parents in this community find it helpful to choose a calm moment when everyone can sit together without distractions, and to be direct but gentle about the medical realities while also sharing hopes and plans for making the most of time together. Others here have shared their experiences with similar conversations - hopefully some will offer their perspectives on what approaches felt most natural for their families.
