My lad finished his 3 year battle with cancer today

Just wanted to shout this from the rooftops.

My 7 year old finished his 3 year 3 month treatment for leukemia today!!
He’s buzzing, I’m buzzing, the Mrs is buzzing, it’s nice to know we can go back to being the ‘normal’ family we should be.

It’s been extremely tough, emotionally, trying to be normal for the other two, worrying, bouts of depression, arguments with the Mrs, upheaval, pressure at work, infections along the way, it goes on……

But it’s also been positive in a way?!?!?

We’ve/the community have raised a fair bit in ‘his’ name, bag packing, community fun days, cycling Cardiff to holyhead, running the London marathon, the Mrs due to run the London marathon next week.

Hopefully we will never see this horrible disease again but it’s sad to see others go through it whilst at alder hey.

Anyway I thought I’d post this one up as I’ve had a celebration bevvy! 😉

great to have some good news 😀

Fingers crossed you and your family are on the up now 😉

Fantastic news – off to the fridge to get a beer to join you. 😀

Wonderful news. Although that seems a woefully inadequate thing to say. Raising a glass in your honour as i type.

Superb stuff- I’m raising a toast to him now 🙂

You know this kind of thing keeps me going when I’m reading really really dry medical journals. Somewhere someone eventually benefits from the stuff I’m reading about.

How wonderful is that! Congratulations!

thanks for sharing his good news – you’ve brightened everyones day
hope you and your family have a great celebration – 😀

Fair play to you all.

Bloody brilliant! Best of luck with the next chapter in your lives 😀

That is fantastic news for you & the family, enjoy every moment from now on. Poor kid must have gone through the mill to get there 🙁

I lost my father @ 61 to bone cancer & last year I thought I was going to loose my mother to breast cancer but she’s a tough Yorkshire one and has come through it, words can’t express that feeling of a loved one beating that sort of illness. If only they could halt my wife’s MS.

Great news , really happy for you and your family :-))

Brilliant new, I’m raising a glass to you and your family.

This is superb, I’ve just said goodbye to my dad in sobell house in Oxford. So happy for you, this is my happy thought to go to sleep on.

All your Christmas/birthdays at once. Don’t know you but delighted for you and your family.

That’s wonderful, I’ve seen first hand how traumatic it is for families. Utterly brilliant news

This put a smile on my face, 😀

I don’t usually contribute to threads like this but WOOHOO!

Absolutely great news
I’m sure the last 3+ years have been nerve-wracking, to say the least!!
All the best going forward

Yep- good news 🙂

Bloody fantastic..!!!!!

Can’t even begin to imagine what you folks have gone through.

Good stuff. 😀

Great news – hope all the tensions you mentioned disappear and you can enjoy being a family again! 😀

Hurray, drank tea to celebrate as it is early in the day.

BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!! 🙂 🙂 😀 8) 🙂 🙂

Congratulation to your family. You must all be over the moon!

I missed last nights celebrations but I may have one tonight instead 🙂

Good news and I know what you mean about the experience being positive; my own son had a small accident skiing and compressed a vertebra. The ensuing hospital stay in France and getting him home was a good re-bonding experience for the family when, at the age of 14, he was beginning to be a bit “teenage”.

GET IN! Boss news.

I will refrain frm the celebration bevy until this evening though.

hurray. 😀

I can’t begin to imagine what your lad & the rest of your family have been through. But man, I’m overjoyed for him. 😀

Fanbloodytasticolious! 😀
