Mother of son with pre-b all

0 Recommendations

Wow, it has almost been two years since my son's diagnosis. I have been so terrified that it is coming back. Lately every sign and symptom that led up to the diagnosis of ALL seems to be creeping up. His back has been hurting a lot and his ankles, once in a while his knees. It is never constant and when he was diagnosed his cbc was normal, right now his platelets are low and his white count is low. I know I shouldn't worry but I can't help it. He is such a great kid and so courageous. I sometimes just wonder and think why us. I am sure that all of us think that at times.

The most frustrating thing is that when I call the oncologists they just tell me to give hime oxycodone for the pain. Sometimes I feel like they do not listen to the parent. I am with my son everyday and can notice things happening.

I try to be upbeat but am having a hard time with it lately. I know that this effects my son and it is not good for him.
