Worse than a Curse

Pediatric Oncology. I cannot think of another string of words that weighs heavier on my soul. These two words make me shudder and raise the hydration of my optomometric orbs almost to the leaking point. Their effect on me is worse than a curse.

My son is healthy. I have no personal tales of the ghoul, thank God, that is hunted by this discipline.

With the greatest respect, I salute the physicians who take this path. I don't know how they can do it.
