lymphatic cancer is not a childrens cancer , however this is the cancer that took my 8 year old son from me .
For 7 months I begged the doctors to do something because he was loosing weight & complained of a stomach ache all the time. The wonderful Dr. Call said it was all in his head because he was having a stress attack because my 1st husband & I were getting a divorce. Finally I went to our lawyer & he went to the judge that gave a direct order for exploreatory surgery . On Nov. 2nd my son turned 8 , on Nov. 12th he came out of surgery & the good doctor told me there was nothing they could do but to make my son "comfortable" , he passed away Feb. 7th .....1975 ....
Had the wonderful doctors ran test 7 months earlier maybe he could have had more than one treatment , maybe he would have lived longer , maybe he would have gone into remission . All I got from Dr. Call was a letter of appology for not being more observent & promising in the future to listen better ...that did not save my son . CANCER is a desease that is everyones problem , young & old .....please do not catalog it into a set of just childhood cancer , it's just cancer once they find a cure for one cancer it will open the door for all cancers to be cured.
