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 .

No problem It would be my pleasure. I bet my blue Zed was outside Wasons Garage store. Or was I passing by.

 

Cheers mate.Yep at the time you were passing by.

You wouldn't have noticed us being in a P reg rover diesel !

 

Harry been in a lot less pain today (Thank God).

Long day for him tomorrow and then his 2 week

break from it.Hoping & praying he doesn't pick

up an infection or any other problems in this

time.

Will let you all know how things are going.

 

All the best.

Mate,

 

sorry to here this. Ive got a slight idea what your going through. My little sister got leukemia when she was 3 and was diagnosed on Xmas Day. Its a very hard time, but alot of todays modern practices were trialed on my sister,and she even got chicken pox during her radio/chemo ,and she's alive an well to tell the tale.

 

Best wishes for harry mate, im sure he's a strong lad and will pull through just fine

Thanks mate,glad your sister's well,she must have really gone through it,as

we have been warned that being exposed to chicken pox would be really bad.

Like you say treatment has really moved on Thank God.

 

Believe me we're so thankfull for the hospital and the Dr's and nurses,who

are all being fantastic.

 

All the best.

Sorry not posted earlier.Thursday took it's toll on all

of us such a long day.Arrived at hospital at 10:35 am

& didn't leave till 7:05pm by the time everything had

been sorted as the chemo was late + only going through

at 70ml/hr .Really knocked Harry about,he's still so tired

even now.Finished his steroids now,so 2 weeks off for

him apart from bloods being taken on Thursday and his

central line being checked and flushed.Well this is what

we're hoping as now we're trying to keep him isolated

as much as possible to avoid infection.Family reluctant

to visit due to colds + we've heard that there's a bug

causing diarrhoea going around.(Last thing he need's).

Anyway I'll keep in touch but at the mo ,I must admit

it's drained me,so God knows how Harry must feel.

 

Thanks everyone and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Thanks for the update, keep your chip up bud you will all get through all this. :bow:

Thanks Ade,

Really appreciate yours and everyone elses best wishes and kindness.

All the best.

Only just seen this.

 

Sorry to hear what's happened at such a young age. Reading through the post it sounds like things are looking up, but I can imagine it's already proven to be a hard and painful journey for you all.

 

Wishing you and your family a quick and painless recovery form this ordeal.

 

I have a 4 month old daughter and it's amazing what you would do for your kids, I guess you don;t realise this until you become a parent.

 

Myself and Ana's thoughts are with you.
