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 sorry - by coincidence blood donated today.

I remember your early postings about your dear little boy. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers

I'm so terribly sorry. What desperately sad news.

I've not often posted but I've read your posts about Joseph from the beginning. Sending love. I'm so sorry to hear this is happening to your family.

Life is so utterly unfair. I'm so sorry. Wishing you all the strength you need to get through this hell.

So so sorry to hear this - sending love to you all.

Am so terribly sorry - thinking of you all xx

Thinking of you and your gorgeous brave boy.

I can't donate but my thoughts are with you. I'm so sorry to hear this. Here if you need a venting place.

So many of us holding you in our thoughts. Here to hand hold.

Oh, Trazzle, I am so very sorry.

This bastard disease makes me so angry.

It shouldn't be this way.

Sending you love. You don't know me, I know nothing I say can help, but I am thinking, thinking and thinking of you.

I remember your very first thread about your lovely blue-eyed boy.

I'm just so sorry to hear this. May God hold you close over the next few months.

I have been silently following and willing your brave boy on. Holding him tightly in my thoughts and wishing him comfort and strength. Your MN Aunties are there for you, little J, even if you don't know us. We are there for you too Trazzle, much love.

Oh Trazzle. Thinking of you and your darling boy.

Trazzle I'm so sorry, I can't even donate but will get DH too instead

I'm so sorry trazzles.

I'm so sorry. Much love and some . I can't donate either but you are in my thoughts & prayers.

So sorry to read this. Have followed your posts from the start and have thought of you both now and then. There are no words that will make any of it better but hopefully you know there are people out there thinking of you

Trazzle - regularly read your posts about your boy on here. I am so sorry to read it's palliative care for Joseph. I hope he keeps pain-free as much as possible. He's one brave boy.

So sorry to read your update, life is so bloody cruel.

Holding you and your lovely boy in my thoughts, my fil has leukaemia ( ALL ) and we as a family have seen the reality of it and it's utterly shit and unfair.
From one mum to another I send you the biggest hug xx

Thank you. It's nice to know you are all here, living in my phone and saying nice things.

Ah Trazzle, that is awful. I think of you and your family often. Joseph is a similar age to my dd so I can empathise totally. Praying for you all x

We do live in your phone yes. Here when you need us! What little help we can try and be for you. TLC on tap..

So sorry to read your update. I don't know what to say other than life is senselessly cruel sometimes and I'm thinking of you

Trazzle - I am so, so sorry to hear your news. Holding you and J and all of your family in my heart.
Cancer is a bastard, end of :(

This is devastating news Trazzle. Your beautiful Joseph - this is so unfair. Thinking of you.
