“Carcinoma.”
All the other words the doctor said before this paled. It was this last word that mattered.
We thought it was just a lesion. After all, our son (Aaron) was 15. Yeah, some kids develop cancer, but not ours. That happens to other people.
The next 3 months were a blur. Phone calls. Emails. Appointments. Exams. Scans and blood work. Surgery. And, because of where we live, all of this was 2 hours away. Back and forth, again and again.
