Yes, I am. Hope it's not too heartbreaking. Cancer is bit of a tough subject for me.

I don't dare. Bone cancer far too close to the bone, as it were.

Sorry that have both had to go through some awful experiences as well.

I agree, fucking cancer. Far too young to die such a hideous death.
I'm in floods of tears. It's so sad. I'm glad I watched it though, what a lovely boy.

this was heartbreaking, my mum died of a cancer a few years ago and I know of a 7 yr old who is dying at the moment. Just too much for these poor children and their poor parents to bear. Was bad enough with my mum who had lived a longer, fuller life and led a life which led to cancer - but with these poor children - it's just too much. God Bless all those families out there dealing with this.
