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 that you're having a particular horrible day today. It is such a devastating loss. You must miss him so much.

I am so so sorry. I'll always remember Joseph and think of him often. Take care.

Thanks all of you, it has been some comfort to read your lovely messages.

It's his birthday next week and

I am so, so sorry to read this. I've often thought about your lovely son, on and off, over the last few years. There are no adequate words - it's just horrendous. Sending love and thinking of you xx

Oh Trazzles - what terrible, sad news. I am sending you so much love and courage for next week xx

Oh Trazzles I'm so sorry. I only just found out. All I can say is take it minute by minute, hour by hour on Joseph's birthday xxx

I'm so sorry to read the news. I was only thinking of Joseph a few days ago but didn't get chance to look for how he was doing. Now I see the news. So so sad.

MN have lost so many children. I remember them all and think of them and I'm sorry if that makes me an idiot.

RIP Joseph .

Trazzles am thinking of you all

Trazzles I am so sorry to read the devastating news about your beautiful Joseph. Sending so much love to you and your family xx

Trazzles. I'm so very sorry to hear about the lovely, inspiring, blue-eyed Joseph. Utterly heartbreaking.

The way you wrote about Joesph; his treatment; your feelings continues to affect me four years on. My BF's daughter is starting her third course of chemo for another aggressive childhood cancer. And I have often thought of you both whilst playing a gentle game in a hospital bed; just sitting by my pal in the dark with a drink or making a brew in the ward kitchen.

I'm lost for words so will send love and light to all your family

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss Trazzle. I'd followed Joseph's story for such a long time and thought of you often. Only just heard the news when I saw the Woolly Hugs thread. So very sorry

Trazzle there are no words. Thinking of you.

I've just seen the Woolly Hugs thread. I had no idea you were going through any of this Trazzles, I'm so, so sorry to hear about your lovely boy.

I'm so sorry

Thanks lovelies. It’s nice to know he’s in so many of your hearts.

Oh my goodness trazzles I am so sorry to read Joseph passed away. I hadn't seen the thread for so long, I was just thinking of you all today. Thinking of your blue eyed boy with my candle lit tonight. Much love to you, mr trazzletoes and dd x
