Raising a child post treatment NPC

Not sure what to say, but that your child will understand more than you think he does and knows what you go through. They can see the love you have for him, and that will always mean more than words do. There will be days you have that are bad days and your son will see and live those with you as well, and he will be a stronger person growing up because he see's his mother fight every day to beat cancer so she can be there for him. That is true unconditional love, and you both will be better for it in the long run. As your son gets older he will see and understand more and more, and grow up to be understanding to ones with illness and a better human been for this. 

I had to tell my grandchildren that I was sick and had to go have surgery but I would be ok, just not the same anymore. They were 3 and 4 years old and I had to explain when I came back I would have a hole in my neck to breath through and never sound the same again. I would have to talk with a EL [electricLarnyx] and sound like a robot. I was afraid I would scare them looking like that with a hole in my neck. They understood I was going to be cut from ear to ear, [ as the youngest one said, with a sharp knife] and I said I sure hope so. Then the question was when will the hole go away? I had to tell them, never, I need it to breath. They understand there are some things I can no longer do with them, but my love is always there for them, as yours is for your son. You just take one day at a time and do the best you can and your son will know how much you loved him and chose to have him after beating cancer. So many persons might not have done that and that makes you even more special to him. Be proud, he will be proud of you his whole life. Well say some prayers for you both so you can handle anything that you have.
