The Doctors Said One Word: Remission

The doctors said one word: remission.

And in that moment, everything changed.

My mom fell to her knees. Not because the journey was easy — but because this time, the prayer was answered.

The Words Every Family Waits For

My name is Ethan.

Today, I heard the words every cancer family dreams about: the cancer is gone.

Those words carry more than relief.
They carry months of fear.
Sleepless nights.
Whispers of hope when hope felt small.

For months, my mom and dad prayed every single night.
Sometimes through tears.
Sometimes through exhaustion.
Sometimes when they didn’t know what tomorrow would bring.

But they prayed anyway.

When a Miracle Feels Real

Right now, this feels like the biggest miracle in the world.

Because remission isn’t just a medical update.
It’s a breath you’ve been holding finally released.
It’s laughter returning.
It’s the future opening again.

It’s hearing your name without fear attached to it.

It’s ordinary life becoming extraordinary.

The Part We Don’t Always Say Out Loud

But if I’m honest… I’m still a little scared.

What if it comes back?
What if this peace is temporary?
What if the fear never fully leaves?

Remission brings joy — but it also brings new emotions people don’t always talk about.

Hope and fear can exist in the same heart.

And that’s okay.

Choosing Faith Over Fear

So today, I’m making a choice.

I’m choosing faith over fear.
I’m choosing to smile even when uncertainty whispers.
I’m choosing to believe that this is not the end of my story — it’s the beginning of a new chapter.

Because God is not finished writing my story.

Not even close.

A Prayer That Continues

If you’re reading this, please say a small prayer for me — and for every child still fighting cancer tonight.

For the families sitting in hospital rooms.
For the parents whispering brave words through tears.
For the kids learning courage far too early.

Your prayers matter more than you know.

They carry families through the darkest days.
They bring strength when strength runs out.
They remind us that miracles still happen.

Today, one word changed everything:

Remission. 🤍
