Joseph's ongoing journey with Neuroblastoma

997 replies

I've lost count of the thread number now, but my 3 year old DS, Joseph, was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer called neuroblastoma last year.

Part-way through treatment he has relapsed (currently still clarifying that, but it's almost guaranteed) and at that point long-term survival is less than 5%.

He is beautiful and wonderful.

Another lurker who's never known what to say on this thread, but strangely find my eyes pricking here. What a wonderful wonderful piece of news - maybe that's why there was a bit of a wait?
Sending much love to all the Trazzle family.

Oh goodness, crying here too. So so pleased for you. I've followed your journey closely and was hoping and hoping today for a miracle and you got one. Enjoy pizza, enjoy beer, enjoy tonight xxx

Another one in tears here. Have followed you from the start and think of you several times a day. When I saw all the "that's amazing news" posts I scrolled up as fast as I could and had to read your post twice.

Fab stuff.

So SO happy your consultant could give you a little splodge of light.

I'm so desperately hoping this is the start of more good to come. I don't want you guys to have to this any longer. Please.
