Joe vs. The Cancer

999 replies

TrazzleMISTLEtoes · 08/12/2012 23:26

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.

Here and crossing all gingers

Sending love and hugs and positive thoughts, as always, from Malvern (but I WAS born in Essex)

TeaMakesItAllPossible · 22/02/2013 22:40

Here with you Trazzle.

Praying for strength for you and your DH and for Joe to continue his brave fight with as much pluck and gusto as he has so far.

BuffyFairyTopsTheTree · 22/02/2013 22:46

Oh Trazzle, I'm sorry to hear this latest update and will pray that you don't get the call tonight. I picture Joseph as you describe him and my heart breaks for you. It just isn't fair.

This horrible treatment will all be worth it when it sends the bastard cancer packing. Joseph will get better and this will be over.

Poor you about the gallstones. What can they do for you?

Sending lots of love and positive vibes your way. DD sends a manic laugh, a whack and a half eaten biscuit - you've gotta love toddler affection Grinxx

AT the moment Joe is the last person I think about before I go to sleep each night
I don't know him, I don't know any of the trazzlesies in real life, but I wish and hope so hard that he will be well again soon.
