Best of luck to you guys.
Regarding the kids, each one is different. My experience with full disclosure follows. My youngest was 8 when my mom died from cancer. While he didn't understand everything, he has made sure to remember as much as he could about my mom. He will still talk about her regularly and will mention things that he did with my mom. I think them knowing actually helps with the ups and downs that go with cancer treatment. That said, mommy is a lot different from grandma.
