Would you share ideas for how a caregiver can convince the patient to share with her children what she is undergoing during treatments?

The difficulty is the patient is dealing with so much fear, anxiety of disease plus side effects of chemo treatment this is just one more issue to address with his loved ones, that he/she cannot handle. Our children were attending college and coming home for the holidays during my husbands treatment. He'd lost considerable weight and did not want to share with them what to expect when they arrived home.
