This is not an easy one to sit in judgement on. The news story is very black and white. The chances of him surviving may be slim, maybe she wants him to have quality of life rather than months of a treatment that is worse than the disease. At 7 he will be aware of what is happening and what is going to happen maybe he is so terrified she feels the only way they can both cope is not to put them through it. Maybe she is so terrified she cant face up to putting him through it. Maybe on reflection she will change her mind....there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to how any parent will react to the news that their child has a potentially terminal disease.
