Cancer is latent in all living beings, but some develop it, others live with it, and others simply die without having felt any symptoms.
My parents, both of them, died of cancer. Dad died of pancreatic cancer -fatal, only 6 months after it was detected- and mum died of breast cancer -she, with a total sternotomy of her left breast, lived almost eight years… -.
Some cancer conditions are inherited, but according to experts in the field, to the third generation. That is, my children or grandchildren. My first daughter died at the age of 10 from leukaemia, and less than a month ago, we found out that my son, Matthew, only seven years old, has the symptoms of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL).
We are a family of three siblings, we have been screened for ALL, and we have no antigens in our blood that indicate our tendency to suffer from cancer.
Oh no!! I'm so sorry to hear about your children, first your daughter and now Matthew, it's absolutely heartbreaking , how much can a parent take in life.
You must be devastated, but Matthew needs you more than ever now. Hopefully by catching the symptoms early they can monitor and carry out necessary treatments as soon as possible.
Sending strong vibes to you and Matthew ❤️
