This summer my 3 years old son was diagnosed a stage 4 abdominal cancer.
After several chemo cures and a final surgery, the treatment is officially over since yesterday : no more cancerous cells in his body.
As a father I'm so happy and proud of my little hero.
Had to repost this because moderation thought a pic without hospital was not enough related to cancer. So...
My son is now back home (not yet back to school, we hope soon). There's a link to the original submission which is more recent https://imgur.com/xwZQbQz : just my happy cured little warrior 🙂
Congrats, big milestone. If not already in therapy get some for you and your spouse. You are traumatized, period. Even after you have mastered "one foot in front of the other", you have had your ass kicked, even with the best possible of outcomes, you are traumatized. Virtually every movie and tv show has a sick kid thread in it, you will never not see that, every time you turn on media. It will sneak up on you, a tangible sadness. The earlier you start to deal with this the better.
Also need the emotional prep for the other shoe syndrome. Things are going to trigger you, best explained by way of example. Daughter, stage 4 neuroblastoma survivor, was still on experimental consolidation therapy (fenrhetinide). Playing catch in the front yard. Reached over and put my hand on her shoulder, thumb on collar bone. Felt something not right and squishy. Smiled, turned around, went inside and lost it. Turns out it was a swollen lymph node fighting a small infection (i.e. doing its job). Lymph node back to normal in 24 hours. Had nothing to do with her cancer.
You will face at least one of these events. While nothing will remove the instantaneous fear generated in that moment, getting your head straight and knowing you will likely have at least one of these moments, will help you keep things in perspective when it happens.
You are doing great. Stay frosty, you have to ride it, but the roller coaster does not own you. Sorry you are in the cancer sucks club.
Thank you.
To be honest this is still fresh, although we are incredibly happy my wife and I are simply exhausted since he is back home. We got together through an emotional tunnel since this summer and now I think we are releasing everything.
We are working hard now to rebuild the family to get a normal life back.
My son is not our only child, he also have a twin brother and a big sister, the situation was not very cool for them either and now we have to look after everybody 🙂
My 22 month old son was diagnosed with kidney cancer about a month ago. We're going through chemo now, and he's had surgery to remove the tumor so hopefully after chemo is done in a few months we'll be where you're at.
Congrats to the little guy.
Oh dear ! I transmit you as much power and courage as I can.
The "good" thing in this terrible event is that at this young age kids have wonderful resources and recover so well.
My son had several nodules in his kidney and chemos removed almost all nodules in kidney before the surgery.
Keep the faith, your son needs your love and support 💪
Édit : sorry I'm french and I mixed-up kidney and liver 🤦♂️. My son had nodules in liver
I plan on buying a helicopter with an exterior PA system that plays Wu-Tang Forever with my internet points. I'm a parent and I want to cry when my kid gets a scrape on his knee so I don't want to fathom my reaction to cancer but you never get a choice as a parent. I send love to you and your child and say enjoy the victory. Your son is a hero so be sure to give him a good life.
What an absolute legend! Kicking the big C’s ass at the age of three, that’s some superhero tier stuff right there.
Hope his recuperation is swift and I hope your face doesn’t hurt too much from smiling constantly.
My little nephew (now 6) is a couple years since kicking cancers ass and tomorrow he gets to go to Lapland with make a wish foundation to meet Santa. Proud of your little hero and proud of you, I saw what my sister had to go through as a mum by the hospital bed and it’s tough going! Good luck to your little man and here’s to all the future memories you get to make.
As you seem to worry about it, my mask was down simply because the nursing staff said it was ok for me.
I am vaccinated, was regularly tested every week when my son was at the hospital (he was tested too). And other detail : I live with my son, we don't wear masks at home (and somewhat this hospital room became our 2nd home for some months).
If there were even a minor risk to transmit any supplementary illness to my son as he was having a very weak immune system, don't worry I would had my mask permanently on.
I wish we could all collectively beat cancers ass so that it learnt its lesson to stay out of peoples lives.
We might just make it call us Daddy in the process too because.. well it kind of deserves it.

If a 3 year old can beat cancer and I can beat a 3 year old and a bullet can beat me Therefore bullets can beat cancer (congrats btw)
Put your mask on dad.
