How would I react if I found out my son is sick with cancer?

Cancer is an illness that always scares me.

I have always had the fear to find out to be sick with cancer because I have fear to die. Death is the thing that scares me the most.

For this reason, if I found out my son is sick with cancer I would suffer a lot.

After the exam to the doctor I would try to make him feel better and I would try to appear calm and optimistic.

But every moment I will not be with him, I would cry thinking of the worst.

When I will find the courage to face this difficulty, I would take him to other doctors to see if the diagnosis changed.

If this didn't happen, I would try to find a treatment to cure him and to help him with this situation.

I would go with him to a psychologist to talk about the cancer and to find a better way to face him.

I would try to do everything to cure my son, to give him hope and to help him fighting this horrible illness. I would try to defend him against the pain and the fear.

If it was possible, I would take his place, to make him feel better and to give him the possibility to live a better life, without facing this obstacle that is too high for him.

But this isn't possible, nobody can do this, not even God.

The best thing it might happen it would be to see my son smiling again, free from the cancer and able again to live his child life, with the illness that becomes only a memory.
