I'm Dr. Becky and this is Good Inside.

Hard conversations are just that.

Hard.

And when you have to have a hard conversation with a child, it's particularly difficult.

The conversation I was planning to have today, with a parent on the show, was supposed to

be about how to talk to your kid about money.

On this particular Thursday, the mom I spoke to was having a really tough day and needed

to talk about something else.

So I'm just going to pivot and I might cry a little bit just to get it out of my system

and then we're going to talk about the money, okay?

Totally good.

Okay.

So real quick, so my husband has a curable cancer and he was diagnosed three years ago.

And the thing with this cancer is that it comes back.

He reacts really well to chemo, but the cancer always comes back.

So I think it's back.

We'll know today or tomorrow.

So every time it comes back, you know, I just kind of go, oh, I feel like we're doing

really well emotionally, but obviously when it comes back, I'm just kind of revisiting

the trauma of the diagnosis.

And this time it's really compounded because I feel like we really need to talk our son

about it.
