It's a lot harder when it is a child.

My daughter has a rare disease, which puts her at risk for a half-dozen cancers. She has scans every 6 months both to check for disease progression and for signs of the rare cancers (cholangiocarcinoma and pancreatic cancer) which often aren't symptomatic until it is too late to treat them. Much harder on me than my own scans.
