A family of four travel the world
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...
If you’re wondering how to help a family with a child with cancer please read this blog. Over the last month we’ve had so much support from friends, family, work colleagues and complete strangers....
In my last post I talked abour cancer fog, now I feel like i’ve hit the cancer wall. 171 days in I guess it was inevitable.
6 months have passed since D day. The pain, the shock, the utter dispair we felt at the begining has been replaced by cancer fog.
Today marks 142 days of cancer, 1093 days until end of treatment. Bilbo’s earned 215 beads of courage it is all about the numbers.

It has felt like we’ve waited forever but i’m pleased to report the results are in. And we now know what the next 4 months look like.
What they don’t tell you when you get the C diagnosis is there is a lot of waiting. Cancer is a continuous waiting game. The day Bilbo was diagnosed felt like the longest day...
Today has been PHENOMENAL, Bilbo and I have had the most wonderful day out in London – i’m buzzing and it has pushed cancer to the back of all our minds.
Last night the feelings, the worry, the tears, the anxiety about cancer all came pouring out. It was 1am and I broke, I had the mother of all meltdowns.
Actually today marks 106 days but i’ve been too bloody busy to write or think about posting.
We’ve now reached 97 days of cancer. And today i’d like to celebrate the last week and how much Bilbo has managed to achieve and enjoy.
