Children with Cancer

[Twunk]

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.

Oh I've been thinking of you all this time, min, and I'm so, so sorry to hear this sad news. He sounds such a lovely young man. Thinking of you all.

You have had to do the hardest job that can be asked of any parent, Min. You saw Will into the world with love and labour, and you accompanied him as far as you could and saw him out of it with love, gentleness, dignity and more love. No one could do more.
Much love to you, Will's Dad and Will's brother.
What a long and terrible road you've been on and how difficult the road ahead.
My thoughts and love are with you all.
Rest peacefully, Will. XXX

Truly, those are beautiful inspiring words.

Love to all who find themselves on this thread and especially min.

I have posted on the other thread but just wanted to add how very very sad this is for you, your son and the rest of your family. I'm sure you are in everyone's thoughts today. Sending you warm wishes and the hope you have lots of real life support. I hope you can gain some comfort in knowing that you have been a remarkable mum to your dear son, you could not of done more for him. R.I.P. Will.

So very sorry to hear that Min. Love and strength to you and your family. xx
RIP Will.

Min, I am so sorry. I have been following your journey and you are so brave and courageous and he sounds like he was the most wonderful boy. My thoughts are with you, even though you don't know me. Thank you for sharing. X

New thread xx

If anyone wants to write to Minmooch please continue on this thread or her thread in bereavement

Please can anyone advise me. We are 4 years out of treatment with serious life changing side effects. It is becoming more and more obvious we will be ignored, left out, not invited by some 'friends'. Usually I'd just not see them again but they are part of a circle which we socialise with. I am so upset, I valued these people and they were my DC's friends. They just don't get that cancer affects everything, always and forever.
