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.

Thinking about you.

Another bit of slow torture for you. It must be excruciating. Still thinking of you and offering a virtual hand to hold.

StealthOfficialCrispTester · 17/05/2013 15:18

The wait must be awful. Still thinking about all of you

Oh Trazzle, thinking of you.

Hi Trazzles - thinking of you.

I'm at my firm's charity Dragonboat race as I type. So far, we've raised £190k for Cancer Research, Children With Cancer, and Help For Heroes.

I'm doing it for Joe.

Sending love and thinking of you all xxx

TeaMakesItAllPossible · 17/05/2013 16:58

Oh sweetheart. Will they work Saturday or do you have to wait all weekend?

ToffeeWhirl · 17/05/2013 17:05
