What's the difference between my father having me and my father having cancer?

My father didn't beat cancer.

Edit to clarify: Thank you to everyone who's reached out. To clarify, my dad did not beat me. I told him this joke, and it gave him a good laugh about something that's given him a lot of anxiety. He's expected to make a full recovery, but cancer still isn't fun to deal with.

I appreciate everyone's comforting words!
