He has survived the most horrific cancer treatment with his smile, joy and love intact. Unfortunately the neuroblastoma has survived too.

I am so sorry to read your update. Love and strength to you all for tomorrow. Big hugs XX

No you are not giving up on your son! It is what it is.

Dear little Joe has hundreds if not thousands of mumsnetters loving him and thinking of him right now at this very moment X

coreny · 14/04/2013 22:10

I am so so sorry. x

CheckpointCharlie · 14/04/2013 22:11

trazzle you must feel like you are in a nightmare.

I can get my hands on lots of penguin postcards and a cuddly penguin too, so let me know if you would like a batch sending up to you.

I am desperately hoping that you get some ray of hope from tomorrow's meeting, so much.
Xx

ajandjjmum · 14/04/2013 22:11

So sorry - praying the news tomorrow is not as bad as you fear. x

barefootcook · 14/04/2013 22:13

I am so sorry to hear your horrible, horrible news Trazzle. Please let us know what we can do to help. There will be lots of hidden resources here and we are all keen to make things happen. The penguin visit could be tricky but not be impossible! Let your imagination run wild! My thoughts and prayers are still with you all.

thecatfromjapan · 14/04/2013 22:13

You and Joe, and your family, are in my thoughts tonight.

Joe is a lucky little boy to be so loved.

May you all find the strength you need.

Good luck and warm wishes to you all, Trazzletoes.

IwishIwasmoreorganised · 14/04/2013 22:14

There's no way that you're giving up on dear Joe. You're still doing exactly what you've done since the start - the best that you can.

Bastard cancer is shit and unfair. There's no two ways about it.

Hope tomorrows meeting gives you some answers to the many questions that you no doubt have.

Xxxx

tangledupinpoo · 14/04/2013 22:19

Trazzle, I am devastated for you all. This bastard, revolting disease. Sending you all so much love and echoing all the offers of help, in any way. X

DreamsTurnToGoldDust · 14/04/2013 22:21

I'm so so sorry, I wish there was something that I could do to help. Much love xx

narmada · 14/04/2013 22:28

I cannot imagine what you must have felt when you got those results.

Trazzle :( (((hugs)))

No-one with an ounce of common, compassion, or empathy would think you were giving up on your son. No-one worthy of your time of day.

TigerFeet · 14/04/2013 22:34

sending love to you and yours Trazzle xx

MintyyAeroEgg · 14/04/2013 22:34

Just wanted to add that I am a huge fan of penguins too and here is my favourite ever penguin clip which I hope Joe will enjoy lots and lots!

StealthPolarBear · 14/04/2013 22:34

Still praying.
Glad he enjoyed the penguins.
No decent parent 'gives up' on their child. Whatever you do with the information you're given, the decisions you make will be come from your love for him.

landofsoapandglory · 14/04/2013 22:39

I'm so sorry Trazzles.

Much love to you, Joe and all of you family.xxxxx

SESthebrave · 14/04/2013 22:43

Thinking of you and wishing we could do more x

Doubtitsomehow · 14/04/2013 22:43

Continued thoughts, hopes and prayers.
