Default Alrighty.. Here Goes..

I know a few of you already know of my recent had news, but I wanted to make it common knowledge as I'm going to probably be on here looking for a chat and a bit if banter late at night and I'd rather do so if everybody knew my situation..

Almost 2 weeks ago, my son was diagnosed with Leukemia and has already started a lengthy course if chemotherapy. He's in hospital for the next 6 months and Dave and I have not been home yet since the diagnosis and have basically relocated to Edinburgh for the time being.

The first few days were by far the worst of my life, but I'm feeling much more positive now

Just wanted y'all to know so I could chat here easily

Thank you Tom.. I'm remaining hopeful. My son has the more uncommon childhood leukemia but apparently it's still very treatable.. And the upside is is that it's just 6 moths of intensive chemo whereas the more common type is a 3 year programme.

I wish him a speedy recovery, It's good to know he's began treatment so fast. What age is he, if you don't mind me asking?

That's awful news.

People get through things like this all the time, stay positive. Always surprised by how strong people can be at times like this, humans can be very resilient, no doubt he'll fight his way through.
All the best to the whole family.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - I can't think of anyone less deserving of such news (not that anyone deserves it, obviously). I wish all the best for you and if he's anything like his mam he's one tough cookie to break and will storm through this

God bless Lee, really sad to hear this, thought something was amiss with you recently you're a strong lady, and if I'm online anytime you need to chat to anyone then I'm straight there.

So sorry for you and your Son and the rest of your family. I don't really know much about Leukaemia or anybody with it so I'm not an ideal person to offer specific advice however if banter and that is what will help you get through the more difficult periods feel free to abuse the crap out of me. I come on most evenings.

I hope your Son makes a speedy recovery.
