Paxton: A Son’s View from the Caregiver Side.

In this eye-opening episode of Pineal Stories, we hear from Paxton, a 14-year-old whose life has been shaped by watching his mother navigate the challenges of living with a symptomatic pineal cyst. With a rare combination of honesty and empathy, Paxton speaks candidly about the emotional weight, day-to-day adjustments, and misunderstood realities faced by families supporting someone with a chronic, often invisible illness.

Through his own words, Paxton gives voice to the children and teenagers who live this experience—balancing school, friendships, and their own emotions while adapting to the unpredictable changes in a loved one’s health. He describes moments of frustration, deep concern, and unwavering love, offering a perspective rarely heard in medical or patient advocacy discussions.

His story is a powerful reminder that chronic illness affects entire families—not just the patient—and that empathy, communication, and awareness are essential for healing and support.
