Childhood cancer is draining, frightening and painful. A mother in Texas shared an unfiltered peek into how the disease impacted her family.
Kaitlyn Burge posted stirring photos of her 4-year-old son, Beckett, leaning over a toilet, with his 5-year old sister Aubrey standing guard. Beckett was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia over a year ago. "Vomiting between play sessions. Waking up to throw up. Standing by her brother's side and rubbing his back while he gets sick," she wrote."This is childhood cancer. Take it or leave it.
You don't get to go out and live the life you've been living prior to this." And focusing on Beckett's health has meant she has less time to devote to Aubrey and her 6-month-old daughter. The war against childhood cancer: Who's winning? "The siblings are forgotten about a lot of the time. They make a lot of sacrifices that people don't realize," she said.Aubrey has stayed by his side in the hospital and at home.
