jultaylor1972 2 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Question 1: If your child was waiting for treatment for cancer which was imminent would you book a holiday? Question 2: If you found out the treatment was to happen at the same time as your holiday would you be happy to have the treatment postponed until a more convenient time? Im very curious to see what peoples opinions are here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OldNog 432 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 surely nobody would even think of a holiday asa higher priority for a childs cancer treatment Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JoeD 24 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 I don't have kids, but my answer would be Question 1 yes...never think the worst in my eyes. Question 2 no... I would get the treatment rather than have a holiday. Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites

andyfr1968 772 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 I take it this has a proper point which guessing from you avatar is work related....? If some knob puts a holiday before a vital treatment for their child then they're not fit to look after children. That's disgusting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
just jack 997 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 fook the holiday no matter what Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jultaylor1972 2 Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Those two questions are just the tip of the iceberg. As annonymous as i possibly can be; heres the scenario; Father had lump 5 years ago was told it wasnt cancerous. 7 year old child has lump last year discovered it was cancerous, lump removed. A hereditary disorder discovered and it turns out fathers lump was indeed cancerous too but he is clear now. Both father and son have to have radioactive iodene treatment, son first, then father later this year as fathers is just a precaution. Father can stay with son during treatment which lasts two days, mother cant as son will be radioactive. Father books holiday knowing treatment is imminent. Mother gets phone call from Doctor with dates of treatment - same as fathers holiday. Father wont cancel holiday, willing to re organise treatment. Am I wrong in being a little bit angry/ upset that a father could do this? I honestly dispair at some people at times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You're logic it utterly flawed, John and if you think the poor lads dad can justify his decision based on the fact that he happens to be clear (for now...) then you're as bad as him, IMO.

littlefish 571 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Maybe he has promised the kid this holiday and it would bitterly disappoint the child to cancel it? How long of a delay in treatment are we talking about here....two days? two weeks? two months? Maybe a short delay will have little impact on the prognosis (good or bad) but the child may benefit from the holiday, is it the last holiday he is likely to have? I'ts impossible to say without knowing the facts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
