Well with the older kids I haven't had experience. But my father just completed Chemo this January. It was tough enough just to see the effects of that. But he pulled through and all the tests come back that its in remission. My nieces and nephews who are in the same age group you mentioned were told about it. They kept it very simple for them to understand and answered the questions they had. One idea is Im sure you can find a childrens book that discusses this type of illness. I have a one year old who of course couldn't understand but I found myself taking more and more pictures when he was playing with grandpa.
