My son, not I, had ALL and is in remission.
I don't know how to quantify the impact it had on him from a personality perspective, as he is severely autistic and barely speaks. He was in treatment from age 3 to 6.
For the rest of his family (parents and sibling) it had a massive impact. I already had anxiety issues (TBI while in the military flipped that switch), now I have something my doc describes as health related PTSD.

That's excellent to hear. Send him a high five for me.

I'm sorry to hear that. My own family was definitely affected by all of it. If it will help, I'd be happy to talk whenever you'd like (email [1], phone—whatever works)—it's a hell of a lot to process/cope with especially on top of the other stuff you're dealing with—don't hesitate.
