My son is graduating

JD, the important one here
JD, the important one here right now is YOU. We do all have to make concessions in our lives as we go through our treatments. Truth be known, you probably shouldn't be in a crowd of people that large anyway. Is there a chance that someone has a video camera and can record the event for you? I know I wouldn't want to miss my daughter's graduation but if it was between my health or the ceremony, I'd have to chose my health. I'm very certain that your son will understand and would probably make the same choice. I'm sorry that you have to miss something as important as this. It's not every day that our children graduate. Good luck and deep down I'm hoping that you have a surge of energy and are able to enjoy the ceremony in person. Take care.0 -

I know how heartbreaking this must be for you - I agree with Marcia. I would talk with your son. Then if you decide that you feel up to attending, changing your mind will be a pleasant surprise. I haven't had any major events come up that I had to miss but I have had to get my family to understand that how I feel can change on a daily basis - this disease and its treatment are really a roller coaster ride. I'm sure if you explain, your family will understand and find ways for you to be involved that don't involve heat and crowds. I wish you the best!

I agree with everyone. You probably shouldn't be in a crowd of people for your own health. I am sure your son would understand if you explained it to him. Your own health has to come first. Take care!

completely understand and relate to your situation.My son's graduation was in May (12 months after I finished my treatment). I was able to attend but had to leave earlier, did not stay for speeches. He was ok with this.
Please take care of yourself.
