Telling my son of my diagnosis

I'm not sure when to tell my son about my diagnosis. He's 12, very smart and sensitive. I think that I should tell him that I have cancer, that I need surgery and that the doctor thinks that surgery will get rid of it. If I find out anything different after surgery I will tell him then too.

Actually I think I would tell him that you need surgery-he is old enough to know everything,but why worry him until you know more,..

I will definitely answer any questions he has. I don\'t want him to worry.
