Does anyone remember my little Blue-eyed Joseph? Bad news and I could use some support, please.

[Trazzletoes]

My 6 year old, Joseph, was diagnosed with stage 4 high risk neuroblastoma cancer when he was 3. He had 14 months off treatment and then had no evidence of disease for 2.5 years. We were starting to imagine a future for us all and make plans.

We found out a fortnight ago that he has relapsed. 5 year survival rates from here are less than 5%. Possibly even less than 1%, I can't remember. Chemo starts tomorrow, I am struggling to understand how this has happened to us again (because there is no reason) and how on earth we are going to make it through this. I know it's by taking a minute at a time, but it feels so huge right now.

I'm so, so sorry

Not really much else I can say, but I'm sending you all my love.

Oh Trazzle, I remember your threads well.

I'm so sorry for you and your family. I don't have anything helpful to say, just wishing you the best.

I'm so sorry x

I remember your threads. Sending you my love, and prayers.

I remember and I was thinking of you a couple of weeks ago. I'm sorry to hear your news and send you all the strength and good wishes I can.

Oh Trazzle I remember you and Joseph so well. I'm so so sorry.

I'm so sorry, that sounds so frightening, and it must be very difficult for you to hide your tears from Joseph.

Have you been in touch with any charities that might have specialist workers to help with emotional support for you and Joseph?

I remember your posts and made a point of checking how you were getting on.

I'm so, so sorry that the bastard cancer is back.

I remember Joseph and you all. I am so, so sorry you're in this awful place xxx

So so sorry trazzle. I really don't know what to say. I remember the threads so well. You must be in shock- it seems so unfair when he's been cancer free for so long. Will be thinking of you.

Oh, Trazzle, I'm so sorry to hear that you've had this news. I remember your awesome strength when faced with the unimaginable. Since your threads I've though of Joseph and sent some good thoughts to you all when you've crossed my mind.
One foot in from of the others and gingers crossed...iirc.

I remember your threads and I'm so sorry that this is happening.

Wishing you all love and strength

God bless you, I'm so very sorry

I remember your threads. I'm so, so sorry to hear this. You're in my thoughts. We're all here again.

I'm so sorry

So sorry to hear this Trazzle, neuroblastoma is a horrible disease. Wishing you and Joseph strength in the times ahead xxxx

Oh fucking bastard cancer. I remember you from the Children with Cancer threads a few years ago. This is such shitty news.

I'm thinking of you and your family, and sending love and strength xx

Look into those big blue eyes and take it one step at a time. Relish the moment and be kind to yourself. All my thoughts are with you. I am so sorry. Wishing you strength and courage

I remember your threads. So sorry to hear the cancer is back. Thinking of you and Joseph.

Shit. I didn't want to open the thread as I remember what you all went through and that was too hard. How can this be right? Life is just so unfair and crap. Thinking of you and Joseph x 1000 and wishing you strength to get through, one step at a time.

Oh god Trazzle I am so so sorry. I used to regularly be on J's other threads with another name.
I still think of you guys when I say fingers gingers crossed.
My heart is going out to you right now, remember your boy has defied the odds before. We will be here as much as you need, one day at a time.

Trazzletoes, I remember. Hi Joseph . I'm so sorry you have been thrust back into the world of cancer treatment. I hope that you are one of the 5% and that you have more strength than you thought possible as you face tomorrow.
