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'm so sorry Min xxx

Millie2013 · 26/02/2014 17:42

Min, I'm so, so sorry, he couldn't have asked for a better Mum xxx

TabithaMcKitten · 26/02/2014 18:01

I am truly sorry min

You have loved your boy so much and he was very lucky to have you as mum.

There are no words I can say to make you feel even the tiniest bit better, but please know how sorry I am that this happened and that I am wishing you lots of love xxxxxx

I think, in a couple of days and if you are in agreement, I will start a new thread. After this very sad news it seems appropriate to leave this as a tribute to Will's fight.

Much love to everyone, especially Min. Please min when you are able "drop in" and see us. We love you and you are always in our thoughts xxx

BrunoBrookesDinedAlone · 26/02/2014 19:11

Another lurker wanting to say how sorry I am. Min I wish you peace and strength, your Will sounds the most wonderful boy. I am so so sorry.

mummylin2495 · 26/02/2014 19:13

I. Am saddened to see your news. May your lovely son rest in peace and may you somehow find the strength to get through this awful time.

Fivemoreminutesmummy · 26/02/2014 19:28

So sorry min
He sounds like a gentle soul and I hope he sleeps peacefully.
I can't begin to imagine how you feel but you have always been unfailingly kind and generous in spirit to others and you are a wonderful mother. Sending you love.

NorkyButNice · 26/02/2014 19:35

So sorry min, may he rest in peace. Much love to you and your family at this time x

lougle · 26/02/2014 19:39

I'm glad you were all able to be with Will at those last moments, Minmooch. I hope that you can all get a little rest and comfort each other with the knowledge that your boy was so brave and so wonderful.

TabithaMcKitten · 26/02/2014 20:02

Good idea twunk

I was just thinking how this is the thread that nobody wanted to join and yet - once you are in it - nobody wants to leave Sad

barefootcook · 26/02/2014 20:03

I am so sorry Min. Your Will sounded such a wonderful young man. An inspiration to all. xxx

Hassled · 26/02/2014 20:06

Min - I'm just so sorry.

Stinkyfeet · 26/02/2014 20:08

I agree twunk. Whilst I have nothing to update at the moment, it would feel somehow wrong to carry on on this thread. And it would be awful if one of us, or someone new, needed the support and felt awkward posting.

My thoughts are still with you min
