September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. During this month, we will share many lessons that our family has learned from childhood cancer.
It will be hard for people to understand
If you are the parent dealing with cancer, don't get frustrated when people don't understand what you are going through.
I met one mom whose son never lost all of his hair. People actually asked her if her son was "really" sick.
Some people will offer you advice, they will tell you stories about other peopl that have been through this, they might even try and tell you stories about people that have it worse than you.
I would say to try and avoid these people, but some of them might really think they are helping, some of them might even be family.
Find a polite way to tell these people that their stories aren't overly helpful.
If they don't listen to polite, then you can cut them off.... Or let them clean up after yous child the next time he or she gets sick.
