Important things when a young child receives a cancer notification vol.2

In the treatment of cancer, not only the success of surgery and the effect of subsequent treatment, but also the patient himself
・ The patient’s strong will to live
・ Strong mental strength to withstand cancer notification
・ Physical strength to withstand long-term cancer treatment
Perseverance
I think it is necessary.
If these conditions are met, I think we will be able to face long and painful cancer treatments.
However, it is difficult to argue whether young children can actually accept cancer notifications in the first place.
After giving the announcement, it is not easy to make a correction to make it absent.
In my case, I was notified of cancer with my mother, but I had too little medical knowledge to understand the doctor’s explanation immediately. However, the mother who was there suddenly burst into tears and was in a state close to mental collapse.
That’s not unreasonable.
And when I saw the crying mother, I finally understood my situation.
“I got a terrible illness.”
The crying mother continued to ask, without waiting for the teacher’s explanation to end.
“Isn’t my child helping?”
It must be taken into consideration that in a state of mental collapse or confusion, the restraint is no longer effective and there is a risk of suddenly saying something that should not be said next to the patient.
In the case of a young child, although he has no medical knowledge, he should be careful about the atmosphere of the place, the sense of urgency, the facial expressions of his attendants (relatives such as parents), and the strength and intonation of the words he speaks. You have to.
I can’t control the doctor’s words to announce and explain my condition, but as long as I accompany my child’s patient and listen to the explanation, I have to be patient no matter what the condition is. You can’t.
In my case, my doctor’s doctor took care not to surprise us too much, but as a result, I was impressed that the condition was worse.
[About the situation after I was notified when I was 10 years old] Please look forward to the next post.
