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.

Oh wow wow wow! Grin

I have been putting off coming back to this thread this evening! Amazing news! Grin

Your lovely boy- what a little fighter! Flowers

Trazzletoes · 17/05/2013 18:23

I promise I'll come back with more info and answer your questions later on but I have many people to speak to, 2 children to get to bed, beer to buy and drink and pizza to order.

But quickly, no he isn't in remission. It's not gone completely. But the stuff that was new last time has gone. It's still a cause for celebration, just for tonight, but that'll do me!

EleanorFarjeon · 17/05/2013 18:25

I normally lurk on your posts Trazzle, as I don't know what to say.

But your post this afternoon made me gasp and has made my day.

How bloody fantastic!

So happy for your family.

StealthOfficialCrispTester · 17/05/2013 18:28

DS who wanted soft boiled eggs for tea has got hard boiled
and this is YOUR fault :o

RubyrooUK · 17/05/2013 18:28

Amazing news. What an incredible thing to happen. I know you say he's not in remission, Trazzles, but this is brilliant progress.

Having a bit of a weep. X

NorthernLurker · 17/05/2013 18:30

Tears here too. You asked us to pray for a miracle. I think this qualifies Smile
Will keep on praying for you and Joe.

On the last thread I mentioned Psalm 46. Those of you who read the Bible might like to look it up again - from vs 10 particularly.

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 17/05/2013 18:30

Oh my goodness! That's brilliant news!

5madthings · 17/05/2013 18:31
