It’s been a while since I last posted, and I truly wished I had better news to share. After 6 rounds of chemotherapy, we received the news we had been desperately dreading. Unfortunately, Sam’s cancer has not responded to treatment as we had hoped and has become resistant to chemo. Despite intensive treatment, the cancer is aggressive, widespread, and continuing to grow.
We have now been told that Sam’s prognosis is no longer focused on a cure. Due to the nature of his cancer, we have exhausted the treatment options available to us and are now facing the heartbreaking reality of a terminal diagnosis, with a life expectancy of only months.
This devastating news has been incredibly difficult to process, especially while Sam was hospitalised with Covid, followed the next week by Leo (11 months old) with bronchiolitis. Thankfully, both boys are now home and recovering well.
Right now, we’re holding onto the small moments together while preparing for the incredibly difficult road ahead. Our weeks have become a delicate balance of rest, playground trips, café dates, and soaking in every precious moment together as a family.
Your donations will help ease the pressure of living costs, give us the opportunity to create special memories together, and help us prepare for funeral expenses when the time comes.
While we may not be able to reply to every message, please know that every kind word, donation, and share means so much to our family during this time. Thank you again ❤️
