Hi Bonnie,
Thanks for writing. It is so true that we all deal differently with emotions such as fear or grief. Sounds as if your son is maybe unable to confront his fears or perhaps what he perceives to be helplessness with respect to your health conditions. I imagine that if I had not already experienced cancer multiple times in my family, had not already myself undergone major surgeries to reduce my own risk, my ability to emotionally confront what my Mom is going through might not be the same. And I am one of 9 children. I can tell you that among the 9 of us, we are all dealing with my Mom's condition in different ways.
