My grandpa got cancer when I was a teen, my youngest sibling was around 10 at the time. You’ll have to explain it as simply as possible. Things like “grandpa is sick but it’s ok, we can still visit him” and explain that his sickness is called cancer. Be honest but hopeful, you’ll have to come to reality yourself too. While late stage cancers are still lethal, their survival rates are improving every day.
