Sadly we need a second thread :-(

My son Alex was diagnosed with ALL (Leukaemia) in July and we are making our way though the 2 years of treatment that are given here in the Netherlands.

If you want support, or wish to share your story, or can give support please do join us.

It's a shitty journey but together we'll get through it.

I am thinking and praying for you Min. May the end be peaceful for your darling Will.

mmmmsleep · 24/02/2014 03:33

min. my heart is with you and your boys. I hope will is comfortable. sending you hugs whilst wishing I had a magic wand to take this all away xxxx

minmooch · 24/02/2014 06:51

Will is comfortable and sleeping most of the time now. The Drs have said as his body is young and strong it may take a day or two for him to pass away. He is surrounded by loved one and his hand is being held so he is not alone on this last part of his journey.

I received Will's Little Hug and I have been wrapped in it all night as I have lain next to him.

Sillybillybob · 24/02/2014 07:13

Oh min even when he is sleeping he will know you are there and it will be a huge comfort to him.

I'm so pleased you have a Little Hug.

Wishing you all much strength for the coming days xxx if you need someone to chat rubbish with, I'm generally around x

RunAwayHome · 24/02/2014 09:28

I am so very sorry, min. I hope he stays peaceful and comfortable.

Elibean · 24/02/2014 09:35

Another one thinking of you and your boys, Min, and sending much love and hopes for peace and comfort xxxx

Twunk · 24/02/2014 10:17

So glad the Little Hug got there

Gentle hugs to you and Will xxxxx

I haven't posted before either (I don't think) but I'm de-lurking to say that your whole family were my first thought this morning as well Min - I am sending you love and strength, as I do to all the posters on this thread. I lurk because I very nearly was drawn into this nightmare with my DD last year - and every single poster here gave me strength to carry on.

God bless you all x

TabithaMcKitten · 24/02/2014 10:25

I am so sorry min

Sending you lots of love and strength xxx

MarnieMadden · 24/02/2014 11:26

GuineaPigGaiters · 24/02/2014 11:38

NCer here but I have been following these threads for some time, I just want to send you (((hugs))) Minmooch. Xx

AvonCallingBarksdale · 24/02/2014 12:21

I haven't posted on this thread before - I found it a while ago and have found myself reading it every day. I am so sorry, Minmooch. The love you have for your son shines through with every post. I don't really know what to say, I wish you and your family peace and love. Avon xx

turningtide · 24/02/2014 12:35

I also have followed this and not commented before, as I didn't feel I had anything of help to add. But Minmooch I wanted you to know that there is someone else here who is holding you and your precious boys in their thoughts. Sending you love and strength. Xx

expatinscotland · 24/02/2014 12:54

min, I am so sorry.

knickyknocks · 24/02/2014 13:31

minmooch I too have lurked and read your journey with Will. You are an incredible mum, whose love and bravery shines through in your posts. Will too sounds a wonderful boy who you should be incredibly proud of. What an evil unfair disease this is. Much love and you all are in my thoughts and prayers.

trulymadlydeeply · 24/02/2014 15:01

Min ... No words.
Just love, hugs and strength. May Will's passing be gentle and peaceful.
Xxx

lovelychops · 24/02/2014 15:25

LadyMacbethWasMisunderstood · 24/02/2014 19:20

There are so many of us who have followed your journey with your beloved son and now feel moved to post.

There is a whole wealth of warmth for you and Will. He is blessed to have you as his champion. You are the best of mothers. And Will sounds a lovely, admirable boy. Your boy. Peace to you both.

Superworm · 24/02/2014 19:40

Also sending strength and love min. I have followed everybody's journey here with absolute admiration for you all. It is utterly unfair.

So very sorry Thanks

Fivemoreminutesmummy · 24/02/2014 19:52

So so sorry min. I'll be thinking of you and your boy. I can't find the words to express how sad the news has made me, I wish you courage and peace.

PseudoBadger · 24/02/2014 20:10
