Hello Everyone I hope you're all doing well. My son is doing as well as can be expected. So far he has the most curable kind of leukemia. He is already feeling better,walking without pain and playing. This is the most terrifying and painful experience of my life.however, it is taught me that life is unexpected. All my years of worrying did not stop this from happening. Looking back I think that somehow I believed that worrying about things would make them not happen. Now that I am faced with the worst case scenario I am in survival mode. I want you to know that when the diagnosis comes it's not as scary as you think.I was glad to know why my son has been sick for over a month. We have a plan of attack. The fear is overcome with hope. Am
I scared? Yes. Do I think about the worst possible outcome? Yes. But I know we are doing all that we can. We don't have control over this life. We do have control over how we live. I want you all to know that disease is not the end of the world. There is always hope. What's important is how we live our lives. If we live in fear we don't live. Enjoy each day live in the present and tomorrow is not promised to anyone. What matters is love what matters is hope.

You're doing great and you'll continue to do so. You'll find strength you didn't know you had and it will carry you and your family through this trial. I'm quoting you as this statement shows a wisdom and resolve that all here on the boards need to take to heart. It also shows how far you've come in just a short amount of time....
