Day 234: Gratitude
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!
Category: Bilbo’s Journey
Bilbo’s Journey is about our journey and how we are dealing with having a child with cancer.
In October 2018 it was with the heaviest of hearts, we shared the news our amazing gorgeous Bilbo, had been diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL).
We’ve been overwhelmed with love and kindness from across our friendship groups, our family and complete strangers. We are under the Kamran ward team at John Radcliffe hospital in Oxford. We are getting the very best possible care.
To stop us from having to repeat and tell so many people pretty exhausting news and updates we’re updating those who want to know through our blog. Godbers Travel was a travel blog, a living breathing online memory book for our boys. We see this as an unexpected journey we need to complete before our normal travel can resume.
I hope you will find our posts honest and frank as we try to give you insight into what life is like for a family and child with cancer.

Today we met Prince Harry, it was the most amazing experience and we’re incredibly grateful to be able to have had this opportunity.
Day 196: Holiday – Part 2
Since 29/10/18 our life has been consumed by cancer it defines who we are and has clipped our travel wings, but for 5 whole days we’ve felt normal.
Day 193: Holiday – Part 1
WE MADE IT! We had a holiday. We’re exhausted, the boys need a bloody good bath but it has been an amazing 6 days and 5 nights.
Day 187: Interim Maintenance – CHECK
Interim Maintenance has been better than we’d expected. And throughout the last few weeks Bilbo has been thriving – take that cancer!
