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 just can't imagine the hell you are in. All my love and cuddles for your gorgeous boy. Xxx

So sorry to hear news. I'll be holding you close in my thoughts.

I am so sorry.

I'm so sorry, life is so horribly cruel sometimes. Thinking of you and your gorgeous boy.

I have an appointment to donate blood on Monday, I'll be thinking of your boy and all the others who need this when I'm there.

So sorry to hear this. I too remember when you first posted about Joseph.

It's just rubbish. Wishing you strength.

So sorry to hear your news Trazzle. There's nothing to say, is there? Except to send you all love and strength. Xx

So sorry to hear your update. Take every day one at a time. Thoughts will you all x

I'm so sorry. This was a post I hoped I'd never have to read
I hope that Joseph's time is managed well and that he's pain-free.

And sending you much love xxx

Hi Trazzles so very sorry to read your latest update. So utterly unfair. Sending love and prayers . Will light a candle for Joe tomorrow at mass.

I'm so sorry. Words seem inadequate xxx

I'm so sorry Trazzles how sad / crap/ miserable. I can't imagine how you are feeling or an aging for that matter. I hope that Joseph is comfortable and not frightened. Every best wish

I'm sorry to hear your latest update. No words really but hope everything goes as well as it can iykwim

I'm afraid I can't give blood for medical reasons but I nag everyone to do it instead.

Please don't feel you have to update the thread. Just do whatever you want.

💐For you, Joseph and the rest of your family

Truly sorry to hear this horrible news. Will keep you all in my thoughts xxx

So terribly sorry Trazzles. I really hope that they can make Joseph as comfortable as possible and that you are getting lots of support as a family. I am going to sign up to be a blood donor now. So very sorry x

I'm so very sorry, how heartbreaking. Thinking of you both.

I'm so very sorry to hear your news. I often think of your gorgeous blue eyed boy.

Sending gentle hugs to you all xx

I'm so sorry to hear this Trazzle. Thinking of you & your family x

Trazzles that sucks so bad. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your boy and your family. ❤️

I've never posted on your thread before but I have read and am thinking of you all and this horrible, shitty time. Praying for comfort for Joseph and strength for you

My thoughts are with you all

To say I am so sorry to read your heartbreaking news seems so inadequate. Cherish every day. Sending much love and strength to you all. Xxx

I am so sorry to hear this, that's so unbearably sad. I will make sure I donate blood this month.

Much love to you all.

I'm so sorry to hear your sad news. Keeping your family in my thoughts and hoping the time you have together is pain free and beautiful. Sending my own angel daughter to watch over you all

Trazzle there are no words

But your families strength has shone through this thread even in the darkest days.
