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.

Will be thinking about you x

Your family have been in my thoughts these last few days.
Nothing useful to say, just that i haven't forgotten you or Joseph, I sincerely hope you are able to find some peace x

So very sorry 😓why can life be so cruel

I am so sorry

im really sorry...
You ll see him again one day... Keep the faith....
All our love, may God keep you strong xxx

You are still very much in my thoughts, Tazzles xx

Oh no, I am so incredibly sorry.

I posted occasionally on your earlier threads but often I didn't simply because I couldn't find the right words to express what I wanted to say.

I have often thought about you & Joe and wondered how he was getting on. Always hoping that things had improved.

Sending you all love & prayers.

I am so sorry trazzletoes, the most horrific and tragic news. You and your family have been through so much, you're all still very much in my thoughts

I'm so very sorry Trazzles. I'll continue to keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Words are so totally inadequate but love to you all.

Such sad news. I followed your story from the beginning. I am so sorry.

I'm so sorry xxx Sending you all love xx

I am so sorry Trazzles. Much love to you and your family.

Trazzles, I am so sorry. Your darling blue-eyed boy. Loved for ever.

So, so sorry - hope you've all the RL support and love you need, was BF all hours when reading your original threads - thank you so much for sharing your journey with us all.
RIP Joseph xx

I am so sorry to hear this.

Only just seen this - sending so much love to you Trazzles and family.

I often think about biscuitsandbandages and wonder how her family are doing, and I know it will be the same with Joseph. He made such an impact on so many lives, that he (and you) have no idea about. He will always remain in my thoughts - as will you - and in the hearts of so many Mners.

I'm so very sorry Trazzles. You, your family and the gorgeous Joe are all very much in my thoughts.

I'm hardly on MN any more so I missed this. I was on your original thread and you were on mine - you were so kind and supportive when my dd (Beazy) was having chemo.

I am so very very sorry to hear your devastating news. It is so terribly unfair. I can't imagine what you're going through but wish you all the strength you need to get through the days and weeks ahead.

I am so so sorry for the loss of your beautiful boy. Xxx

Your family are in my thoughts xx

Oh Trazzles, you were so supportive when my little boy was going through chemo. I am utterly heartbroken for you all. Sending so much love to you all at this impossibly difficult time xx

I'm thinking of you every day Trazzles. I hope Joseph's funeral was or will be if you haven't held it yet the occasion you want it to be for everyone to celebrate him and mourn his very sad loss.

Sending you love from one of the many strangers sending their thoughts daily to where you are.

So sorry Trazzles

Very sorry to hear this. I'm thinking of you and your sweet boy Joseph.
