Having any person in your
Having any person in your family having cancer is bad enough, but having a child with it, is even more heart breaking. The old saying, " A parent should never have to be burying their child"; is so true, yet sadly it happens all too often when cancer strikes. I can only hope and pray that Thomas will recover very soon and go into full remission.
“He'll pull through, he has to,”
I hope so
I Will Never Forgive You...
...if Thomas doesn't make it. You just always have a way of making me cry.
Be kind to those who are unkind, tolerant toward those who treat you with intolerance, loving to those who withhold their love, and always smile through the pains of life.
I am a bit surprised
that they have not been tested for donor compatibility, being family and all. I understand it is quite painful for all concerned.
Not every family
Not every family has a person like Harriet, willing to do what she can for her family. Paying for Peggy's air fare and using her savings to help Emma and David. She is a gem.
When Thomas gets through with his chemo treatments, and recovers, they may find it difficult to get him into a doctor's office or hospital again. All he's going through will stick in his mind for a very long time, and seeing a syringe will possibly send him screaming away as fast as he can run. They may want to get him to see someone to help him get over the trauma.
Others have feelings too.
Somehow
I missed this chapter and I'm an avid fan of Harriet. I was starting to get unnecessary withdrawal symptoms.
I didn't think of Aunt Peggy but bringing her over was a great idea.
I'm surprised the hospital didn't give Thomas a "port" to lessen the trauma of constant injections.
