I helped my son get through cancer treatment by being his support system in every single possible way. First of all, I was his emotional support system. I'm a mirror, and everything that he saw in my face was reflected back to him. I tried to be as positive and upbeat and strong with him as I could. I also was a shoulder for him to cry on, but a strong shoulder for him to cry on. I didn't break down in front of him. I assured him that he was gonna be okay, and I had to believe that myself. I don't know how I would have gotten through it without that. It was important for me to be a support system by knowing everything I could about his medical plan and his treatment. That was very important; I had to be his advocate. When he was at home, I think I was a support system by creating a completely germ-free environment. I couldn't cure the cancer, but I could stand there armed with a bottle of Clorox Cleanup trying to make our house entirely germ-free so he wouldn't get sick, even sicker than he was. And another way that I think I supported my son throughout his cancer treatment was, I'm a mom and I love to cook, and I love to cook for my children. I was so worried about him getting some sort of bacteria from hospital food he would be eating that I home-cooked every single meal that he ate and I would bring it down to the hospital to him. And I would make sure that everything was sterile and everything was safe and everything had been cooked enough, I would pack it in a certain way. So those are some of the things I did to help him get through it.
