Joe vs. The Cancer

My 3 year old DS, Joseph was diagnosed with the cancer Neuroblastoma in October.

Survival rates are approximately 1 in 3.

He's coming to the end of chemo and so far, chemo is kicking cancer's butt. 3 cheers.

So happy that Joe has responded so well to chemo so far.

Also good news that you managed to speak to the other mother on the ward and got some reassurance of the nurses.

A pity that he has to be in on X-mas Eve but on the other hand, Joe and his sister are too young to appreciate when it really is X-mas Eve, as far as they are concerned it could be earlier, the exact day or later, they won't know/appreciate as yet. It will simply be the day you tell them it is.

Lots of good wishes.

So sorry I haven't posted for a while. Always splodging though.

Joe is doing marvellously, everything is crossed for a good result from the Xmas eve biopsy. I am so proud of him, he's amazing.

I'm very much looking forward to seeing you tomorrow.

Much love xx

YOU GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUYS!

Seriously.

SERIOUSLY!

Do you have ANY idea what my living room floor looks like now? No? Well, neither do I because it has disappeared under the massive bounty of stuff delivered via the very kind hands of Buffyfairy (are you home yet sweetie?).

I don't even know where to start.

At all.

But Buffy knows me well. I do like chocolate.

And wine.

And biscuits.

And tea.

I might have had a little something in my eye.

Or both eyes.

I'm saving the wrapped presents until Christmas, but the hamper has been picked through and admired.

DH was very Hmm and all, why did you let them do this? I had to explain that I DIDN'T and I told you not to give us a cleaner (which he agreed was the right thing to do) and that we couldn't very well send everything back and that it was lovely lovely lovely of people to want to cheer us up etc etc. I don't think he's too mardy anymore.

Who can be mardy in the face of presents? And port?

Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts. We are so very truly grateful.

Thank you thank you thank you.

Thank you.

I lurk on your threads without a clue as to what I can say without sounding trite - but you'd be amazed how often you are in this internet stranger's thoughts.

Wonderful that your floor is covered in lovely things :). Enjoy them, and enjoy the kindness of MN.
