Really sorry to hear this.
He will probably be on chemo for a year after to give him the best chance.
Kids are amazing at taking this sort of stuff in their stride. It is probably going to be worse for you and your wife as the parents.
I live next door to a Hospital where they do this sort of treatment as well as heart and lung transplants on small children. I often talk to the parents as the ones that smoke are usually pacing up and down outside and they are easy to spot. Some of them have not smoked for years and take it up again because of the worry.
I know my Dad was ill with worry when I had my brain inflamation and it was touch and go for me for a while. And I was in my late 40s when it happened!! I was just glad my mom was too far gone with dementia to worry about me.
It's going to be a tough road. No doubt about it. Just hang in there. We are thinking about you and I am sure those who believe in a God will be praying for you and your little boy.
The Dave giveth and the Dave taketh away.
