Recurrence cancer is more difficult to cope with than the first time your child got lung cancer. You may experience all sorts of emotions, including anger, distress, guilt and even blame. The American Cancer Society acknowledges that it may be natural to blame your child’s doctor for letting this happen again. You may blame your child’s doctor for not following up your child properly, or you may even blame yourself for not listening to what the doctor said. Whatever you feel, you should discuss with your doctor right now to clear any concerns you may have.
It is not possible for doctor to guarantee that cancer wil not happen to your child, as the first cancer may come back, or a new cancer can develop. There is just no telling. Now you have to deal with the entire lengthy treatment all over again. If you are not comfortable with the old doctor, you can find a new medical team. Working with a new team might help you get a fresh start and feel better.
Managing your child’s emotion
Your child may have the same feelings that you do. Luckily, children are quicker to adapt than adults and your child may feel better after a couple of months. Both of you have already gained the experience you need to adapt to the situation, develop a good working relationship with each other and the doctors, and establish a new treatment routine that will work for everyone. You will, together, learn to live with this new reality, and your support can make a very big difference.
