My son has been diagnosed with ewings sarcoma 6 weeks ago. My dad has got advanced lung cancer. and i feel my world is spinning out of control. My little boy who is 10 has had 2 blocks of chemo and i can see the weight drop off him. It is really hard to keep the brave face on in front of him and his little sister. My dad isnt doing to good either he made my mum promise not to send him back in hospital.

Well my boy got out on Friday after having his chemo. He is coping really well he has lost his hair but not his sense of humour. He is such a brave boy all he keeps saying is he is a soilder because he wants to join the army when he is old enough. He was up at judo coaching on Tuesday night and loved it. I wasnt sure about him doing it but he said he wasnt born to sit on the back burner and if he thinks like that what right have i got to stop him.
My dad on the other hand has totally given up all he wants to do is stay in his bed and that is not like him. He doesnt want to go in hospital again and hes made my mum promise that she wont say anything to the doctor. I try to say that the wee man is looking up to him the now but he just says he nows whats going to happen. I think he has depression and i said he should talk to the doctor but i got told that im his child and concern myself with my own life. Iam gratefull for all the comments of support and it is a relief to get it off my shoulders. So thankyou very much for your lovelly words.

Chocolate - we will all listen any time it feels like too much to bear. Just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you and can only imagine the worry and fear of a little one with cancer. Take care, Claire x
So sorry to hear your news, its amazing when you have one problem there seems to be loads piled on you. I have learnt one little step at a time. Just say to yourself hes had two lots of chemo and thats over and less than he started with. When my daughter had 7 weeks of chemo, and radio followed by 4 weeks of internal radio we put a chart of sticky paper on the wall and ripped it off after every treatment and by seeing that it encouraged her in bad times. Its so hard to see the ones you love suffer, but as mums we are here for one another.
