I am Nehemiahs Nan and it is with great sadness that Nehemiahs cancer has returned and there is nothing the doctors can do.

This is an update from Nehemiahs Mum & Dad (Karise & Omata).

**I wanted to let you all know that Nehemiah’s last MRI result came back with two malignant spots showing on his spine . The doctors said there is nothing they can do to cure it just prolong his life . We have known for some time now and it was very hard for all of us as a family to come to terms with this devastating news .

Nehemiah knows his cancer has returned , he just doesn’t know the other part as we don't think now is the right time . We want him to live his life as normal while he can and have the best quality of life with family and friends , making memories without having to think about that .

Miah had a repeat scan two weeks ago and the two malignant spots have grown a little bit so we are giving the oral chemo a go to hopefully slow the tumors down . If he gets too sick we will stop , but seems to be okay atm .

We are asking for everyone to keep him in their prayers as we know that if that's what God wants he will cure our big boy 🤗

Thank you to everyone who has been there for us on our sons journey
