Quote from Dr. Cox in My Growing Pains
Dr. Cox: Unfortunately, that's what I thought. Your son has hairy cell leukemia. Now, the good news is it's very, very treatable. If you'd like, I'll be more than glad to go in there and explain this all to Josh myself. Mr. Winston: We already decided that if Josh did end up having cancer... We weren't gonna tell him. Dr. Cox: What just happened? Carla: Do you wanna put your hands on the back of your head, like you do when you're upset? Dr. Cox: I do a little.
