I don’t post very much but I do read a lot of the threads on this forum and this had me close to tears (which is not a good look on a Friday afternoon in the office!).

I can relate on a personnel level as my daughter was diagnosed with leukaemia in 2004 just after her 8th birthday. 2 years later and a bone marrow transplant she was on a drug trial, which kept her in remission. Unfortunately, just after my father was diagnosed with a brain tumour, which took his life after 18 months.

To make things worse in 2011 my daughter relapsed and we had to start treatments again. Fast forward to today and by the good graces she is still her after battling cancer for 10 years. Yes there is a lot of baggage, the family has been through hell and a lot of friends we made on this journey have not made it, but she’s still here.

Reading this post brought back a lot of memories and fears and although we have suffered during the last 10 year we never felt the pain of losing her, unlike yourself.

My thoughts are with you and your family.
