I dont know how old your kids are. But in any case live your life as it is your last (trust me you dont have to have cancer to feel scared about your kids). Spend as much time as posible with them, tell them about your life tell them about your memories, tell them of the places, people and things you like. Enjoy your kids. Keep a dieary with all your special things for each child. Take lots of photos. Hug them and kiss them each night and tell them you love tham every chance you have. All the best.

Every minute you spend with your kids is precious. Don't worry too much about the future. Try to think about the present and giving your kids as much of you as you can. They are a huge motivator for getting well!
Every hug, every story you tell them, every moment you are just there with them will be etched in their minds. Taking care of kids is scary whether you are sick or not. But showing your love and spending time with the kids when you are well enough will go a long way toward bonding with them forever -- no matter what happens in your life.
I do think it is a good idea to think of who may take care of the kids should something happen to you as we all should think about that. But you will be taking good care of them if you just let the love you show here for them show to them. That's all kids really want. If you are sick and really can't care for them, you will have to find someone who can help you out. I don't know if you have family around or good friends but someone should step up and help when you aren't feeling well enough to care for the kids. But even then, they can cuddle with you in bed (I don't know how old they are but I assume they are younger) and you can hear about their days and even have them tell you a story for a change.
Stay positive!
Good luck to you.

All you need is trust urself and trust others and teach your children to be wise.Heaven helps the one falling unto demise bearing your soul leads in time to a healthy heart and mind.Feed your nature with somebody else..trust in God.

God will make a way when there seems to be no way. He works in ways we cannot see He will make a way for me. He will be my guide hold me clos1er to His side. With love and strength with each new day He will make a way for me. He will make a way....
It's a song by Don Moen.
God will not abandon your children. He loves them also so leave your worries to Lord. May God show wondrous miracles to you. He is still the God of wonders!
