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.

There are no words but just wanted to add my love and best wishes

I've thought of you and Joseph over the years, wondering how you were getting on. I'm so sorry you're facing this again and send strength, love and best wishes to you and Joseph.

I am so sorry. I read your threads, I don't think I ever felt wise enough to comment. I'm wishing you all the best.

Oh God, my stomach literally dropped when I read that

I remember Joesph well.

I'm so so very sorry

I've thought of you so often over the years and wondered how you and Joseph are - but thought that no news was good news. I'm absolutely gutted for you now - just so, so sorry. As if you haven't suffered enough already.

I remember you too, I also have a 6yr old. How heart breaking.

I have a blue eyed Joseph here too. Sending thoughts and prayers.

Sorry to hear this, positive thoughts to your boy Joseph, and thinking of you and your family x

Oh my love. I think many of us remember. I'm so sorry. We're here. I know it's not much but we're here and we care.

Thanks all xxx. SPB, chemo is 5 days on a 28 day cycle, x 6. Scans after every 2 cycles.

It's really nice to see he is so well-remembered :)

Will be thinking of you all.

so very sorry :( will be thinking of you x

So sorry

so sorry to hear that. was hoping (in a good way) never to read about your beautiful ds again!
whishing you all the best. may he be the 1% who makes it.

Of course he is x
so you have this till about Christmas? Will be thinking of you all xx

I remember your threads too. Sending you all much love

I often think of you too.

I remember Joseph and have often thought of him and your family.

I'm very sorry to hear such devastating news - you are in our prayers, wishing you all the best.

I remember too, so well. You posted a picture of him just after he was diagnosed and I remember his beautiful eyes. Dreadful news Trazzle, I thought of you guys all the time and also hoped that no news was good. My heart goes out to you and your family love x

Sending thoughts and prayers to you and your family. Try to stay strong.

Sending lots of love to you and that wonderful boy of yours. It's not fair. I remember you guys particularly because my DS is a Joseph too, and my DH was diagnosed with cancer at around the same time (I used to post as tunnocksteacake)

Sending love and prayers to you and your wee Joseph.
And f*ck you, cancer.

You have my prayers and thoughts my love. Be kind to each other xx
