A family of four travel the world
Today we met Prince Harry, it was the most amazing experience and we’re incredibly grateful to be able to have had this opportunity.
On the 29th October I joined the cancer mum club. I didn’t want to become a member, I’d happily give the membership card back in a heartbeat.
I’ve been wanting to write something for a while now about my other son. The one who doesn’t have Leukaemia. His name is Harrison and he’s 2 and a half years old. As the brother of a child with cancer, he is suffering too.
Surviving a child cancer diagnosis isn’t easy. This post lists the things I wish i’d known from day one, we hope this may help other parents in the future.
There are so many things I hate about cancer. When you get a cancer diagnosis there is no time off for good behaviour. Even on a week where we have limited time in hospital...
Day 260: It seemed too good to be true and it was. Bilbo was admitted into hospital on Saturday a stark reminder of how quickly an infection can take hold.
Day 253: We’ve done it, today Bilbo completed delayed intensification he had his last ever vincristine and it’s been quite the emotional rollercoaster.
The countdown is on, we have marked some more milestones. There are less than 1000 days of treatment left and we’re two weeks away from finishing DI.
Day 234 I am showing gratitude. I’m grateful because 234 days ago something as normal as a sports day felt so far away. And today Bilbo smashed it!
The Godber family have focused this week on having more happy days than sad. I think we cracked it, we’ve made memories and everyone has been smiling!
Day 216 marks the point when we get to say goodbye steroids…this afternoon i’ve given Bilbo his last dose and we’re delighted to see the back of them.
Day 211: The only mistake you can make is not asking for help. On Wednesday last week I made the important decision to ask…
I want people to understand the story behind this image. This is what a day in the life of cancer looks like.
Today we’ve reached the 200 days of cancer milestone…not surprisingly it doesn’t feel good. The novelty has well and truly worn off for EVERYONE.
Today we met Prince Harry, it was the most amazing experience and we’re incredibly grateful to be able to have had this opportunity.
