My DD3 has stage 4 Cancer

We are in shock, horror, disbelief. Last week she had a sore leg and went to A&E, now she has stage 4 Neuroblastoma and chemo starts on Tuesday.
She's only 3 but she's taking it in her stride. She cried the other night and said 'I don't want to be sick, I just want to go to nursery with my friends' it broke my heart.
The implications are just hitting, our whole lives are turned upside down for at least a year. One of us will have to give up work, how will we cope? Financially, emotionally.
I have a black lump in my stomach and can't believe this is happening to us

Amazing - I just read this from start to finish with your updates over the last 12+ months.

What a brave little girl and what a fighter.

How are YOU OP? I'd be surprised if you didn't have some form of PTSD from this. How you've managed to keep going I don't know. Your resilience is incredible. Have a wonderful Christmas.
