Childhood Cancer Survivor [Thoughts for Family]
When I was only 10 years old, the season had a major illness on my body when I was about to enter summer vacation.
It was cancer.
It is a cancer that develops inside the bone called osteosarcoma, and it was a type of rare cancer with very few cases of onset.
Sudden “cancer onset”.
It meant “death” in my family.
Nowadays, cancer is a disease that has a high possibility of being cured, but when I got cancer, I had a strong impression that “cancer” is an incurable disease next to “death.”
My family was a family of four, my parents, me, and my newborn brother.
Immediately after I got cancer, my laughter disappeared from my home.
And the smile disappeared.
At that time, my emotions became more sensitive than ever, feeling a slight change in the atmosphere around me and reacting sensitively.
Obviously, my family has sunk darkly.
It was from the time I was notified of my cancer.
My feelings were very complicated.
That’s because I can’t do anything with my own power, and I can’t do without my illness.
I couldn’t talk to anyone, it was dark in silence, I was alone, and my heart was dominated by loneliness.
