I'm writing this as everyone has gone to bed and

I just don't know where to put myself.

Last week my son Harry (my little champ) went

for an op to do a biopsy on his neck,today we

got the worst news ever,he has cancer.He's 9

and a half and everything to us as children are

to their parents.Finding it so hard, as like most

kids they believe Dad doesn't cry.I havn't in front

of him as if he see's any weakness in me he'll

know there's something sadly wrong.His Mum and

me feel like our insides have been ripped out.

I know I shouldn't probably be writing this here

but I hope you understand my frame of mind,I

just feel so helpless.Its only just over a year ago

I lost my Mum with cancer.Harry idolised her and

saw what she went through to a certain extent.

So he is having to cope with a hell of a lot for his

age.(I know there are thousands like him but you

just feel your the only ones)

 

I'm like everyone else I'd moan about the slightest

little thing going wrong,but boy does this put things

into perspective for me.(nothing else seems important

now).

 

Sorry for writing here but your all a great bunch and

Harry loves his Z's as much as me and I just want to

send the message"Appreciate life when its good and

all is well."

Its surprising how we take the little things for granted

and believe me I'm the first to put my hand up for

being guilty of that.

 

All the best .

Sorry to hear your news bud - as I father I can only imagine how you're feeling. Be strong for the little fella and I hope that all is going to be ok!

 

Thoughts are with you...

So sorry to hear this sad news Bud.Think positive ,the docs can do loads of stuff nower days.Lots of people get cured every day :bow: . Keep your chin up Fellar and I'm sure your Son is going to be just fine.........Vinz

Hi Mate .

First of all , don`t feel sorry for posting on here . We may be into our cars but we`re also a club , and I think you`ll find that lots of us are thinking about your little lad , you and your wife . I can only send my best wishes and hopes for a successful course of treatment which will put this nightmare behind you all . Keep us posted , bud .

 

Sincere best wishes , good luck and strength .

 

Brian

As written above mate, you have no reason to feel that you cant express what your feeling right now on here.....

 

I cant even imagine what you lot must be going through......my prayers go out to your son and god willing he will make a full recovery

 

Fas

Mate i know exactly what you are going through. my son at exactly the same age was rushed to hospital after suffering months with headaches , he was diagnosed with cancer on the base of the brain and top of the spinal column ,

 

our world fell apart much like yours has , we were told he had a 50 /50 chance of surviving the op and if he survived would most probably be dissabled in some way

 

not too drag it out but to give you some light, some hope at the end of what seems a very dark very long tunnel, my Son is now 19 and has been given the all clear last year

he could not learn much more at school after the op , his schooling suffered as did his balance , but now he holds down a job building and maintaining business computers , just be strong , above all be honest with him ,

 

i hope and pray he makes a full recovery

 

god bless you all

Dont feel you shouldnt post this up mate, as a problem aired is a problem shared. Being parents you want the best for your kids no matter what.

 

Take every day as it comes, and hopefully there is light at the end of the tunnel. The advances in modern medicine have come on leaps and bounds. My little daughter had cronic pheumonia at 18 months old and was in intensive care for two weeks in a coma, but to look at her now you would never know.

 

My thoughts are for you and your family.

sorry to hear this mate, my other half was cryin as she read this, its hard to even imagine what your all going through i would'nt wish this on my worst enemy and being a father myself makes it harder to feel what your going through cos i don't think i could cope with it, but be strong and think possitive, all the best, Chris, Andrea and baby Bradley

Christ dude I'm so sorry to hear you news. I cant begin to imagine what you and your family must be going through. If there is anything I or the club as a whole can do you just say and we'll do our best to make it happen.

Nick

sorry to hear the news about Harry. Cant begin to imagine how you all must be feeling. Be strong, stay positive and we're all here for you.

 

My thoughts, prayers and best wishes go out to you all. x

am not quite sure what to say mate am crap with words but like everyone has said don't feel bad about posting this everybody has problems and the best thing to do is get it off your chest, with him being so young its hard to take in I can only imagine what the poor lad,you and your family are going through, a freind of mine who I went to school with had cancer when he was around 8 or 9 and he has huge scars an his stomach from operations but now he's 24 and he's fine.

 

I'm not sure how possible this could be made but couldn't somebody organise a meet on a track day or something and all the zeds do a lap with him sat right at the front? am sure when I was 9 nothing would have mattered at that point!

Can't imagine how you and your family must be feeling but I believe you have to try and be strong and keep as positive as you can. My thoughts are with you and take care. Use this place as somewhere to release your stresses, it does help.

 

Vijay

Very saddened to hear. I've sat here for the past 15mins trying to think of the right words, but I cant. As a parent, news like this chokes you up inside as you can only imagine how devastating and helpless you must feel.

 

Our thoughts are with you. Have faith in modern medicine and keep strong and positive.

 

Wishing your son a full recovery.

 

David & Abigail

cant begin to understand your feelings as i do not have any children but i know what it feels to see family suffering and unwell.

 

Thoughts and prayers with you all.

Heartbreaking news..

Same as Legrath-Sat here thinking of what to say, but as a dad find it very difficult to even think about to be honest, so my heart goes out to you and your family.. and special heartfelt thoughts for young Harry.

 

All the very best for the future,

Ian

That is really sad news, I hope and pray that everything works out for Harry.

 

If we can help in anyway just ask.

 

Mike...

That's really heartbreaking news, you hang in there buddy.

I'm sure Harry is a tough little boy and can beat this.

I wish you and all your family the very best GLENN

jees mate it must be unimaginable what you are going through but take solice in the fact that the medical profession these days can sort this out still doesnt make it any easier i know but we all wish you and yours the best

good thoughts going out to you mate

sorry to hear this mate. i really really hope everything works out for you all. :bow:

as said above. really hope that they can do something for your little lad, your not that far away(whitchurch aint it ?), if theres anything we can do let us know.

graeme

Sorry to hear that buddy, i have 10 year old who suffers from autism and its hard work, nothing like what your going through but i understand what you mean by wanting to cry!! just knowing he is going to struggle for the rest of his life rips me apart every day.

 

Technology is alot further now and hopefully they have caught it early and he will make a full recovery.

 

All the best and keep us informed on how he's doing buddy :)

 

Mike

another thing if you ever feel you need to talk or get some support then always feel you can come here to do it.

 

I suppose sometimes its good to express yourself somewhere like this, where you can display your feelings openly and get support.

 

Its what a club is about, making friends and getting support when you need it.

 

I am sure i can speak for everyone on here, anyone of us would be more than willing to help you all in ANY way they can, be it actions or general support.

 

You only have to ask

No words could express how thankfull we are for all

your kind words and thought's.You have all confirmed

what I already thought "Your the most fantastic bunch

of people and I feel really priviledged to be part of this

club."

The consultant is trying to rush things through as quickly

as possible (should know more Monday)At the moment

Harry is due to go Wednesday to Birmingham's Childrens

Hospital where he will have dye injected and his first scan.

I will keep you posted as and when I can.Your so right in

what many of you have said "That it helps to have somewhere

to pour your heart out." All of you and this site are a God send.

 

Believe me I'm fighting every minute to be strong for Harry,he

needs this and deserves it.I'm so glad that when I was reading

all your kind words he was not beside me as I couldn't help but

release a tear, as I am also doing writing this, due to a combination

of heartache and being overwhelmed by all your kindness.

You may not know me but I live my life by "treating people as they

treat me". So knowing this ,I hope that you'll all feel that in the

future ,should any of you need help or support as you have offered

me,that I will be here for you if I can help in any way.

 

I wish I could reply back to you all individually,but as I'm not

too quick with the keyboard this message is to you all.

 

Genuinely can't thankyou all enough,you've really helped (more than you could ever imagine).

Will keep you informed.

All the very best to you all,John.

Just read this, And it brought a tear to my eye! :( I have 3 children and can imagine what you your family and harry are feeling, be strong and stick together and love each other as you always have done and im sure fate will bring him home safely.
