I have a little nephew who quite possibly has a very rare cancer. Thankfully the mortality rate is very low, like 10%. But it is still a huge ordeal to be a little guy and have to have so many studies, surgeries on your skull and radiation treatments. His mom, my youngest sister, wow do I feel for her.
I think the hardest thing for a parent is not watching a kid make dumb mistakes, but seeing them deal with something so big and seemingly random as serious health issues. (and hell yes i like healthcare as we have it now, just for things like this. managed care could screw you otherwise. obamacare is a falsehood)
I won't post pics of him as he needs his privacy, being like 4 (5?) or whatever, but can you spot the issue from his x-rays? If so, do good in school. Go to medical school. Become a radiologist and do something to make the world better. Be active. Serve your fellow man with your brains and talent.
Reread that top photo now and have hope. Then move forward with action! Action is the best response to misfortune.
That sucks! My nephew was born with a heart defect that required surgery at just a few days old. We don't know if the surgery he had will fix the problem until he is older. It sucks to see these kind of health problems with such little kids.
ReplyDeleteSo, as far as the xray, is it the very top of the skull? Not the dark spot (too obvious), but to the left and above?
