hi i lost my son jack to a rare form of cancer in 2006 aged just 5 years old and he had battled it from the age of 5, i still cannot come to terms with losing him and can not understand why a vibrant young boy so full of life and healthy woke up one day with a lump on his ankle and 22 months later he was taken to a place so far away from us and the pain is still so painful,

RE: cancer
Oh Sharon, I too am looking for answers after the death of my 15 yr old daughter from the cancer Malignant Melanoma, supposedly related to sun tans and tanning beds, neither of which she ever did - life is very hard and I cant find anyone to blame - its just sheer bad luck. I gain strength from the thought that the angels needed her more than I did, she was so perfect she had nothing else to give to this world, she was always too good for it. Im so sorry for your loss, I cant even tell you it gets easier because at the moment its seems to get harder for me to cope. Hold in there, there will be a reason he was taken so soon - he was maybe just too good to stay here.
Alison.

Life is so cruel, My son was diagnosed with cancer in August 2007 he to also had a rare form called a Rhabdoid tumor, what made it harder for us was that his tumour was shoulder area which is very uncommon for a Rhabdoid. I November 2007 we were told that the tumour had responded really well to chemo and that it coud be removed around christmas, I was over the moon, I thanked god so many times for helping my baby get better. Then on the 9th december 2007 he took a turn for the worst and showed neuroligical problems and following a CT scan of his brain it showed that he had too much fluid on his brain, whilst undergoing surgery for this our consultant came in an told us that the CT scan had also showed that the cancer had spread to his brain and there was nothing more that could be done. He went into ITU and on 11th december we made the agonising decision to turn his life support machine off and we watched our little boy slip away.
To this day I can not forgive god for taking him, I don't care how much they needed another special angel, I feel no anger towards Great Ormond Street Hospital or the staff there because they done everyhting they possibly could.
As the months have gone past I have good days and a lot of bad days, I think so far the only way I have coped is through fundraising for GOSH in my son's memory. So far the days haven't got easier and the pain hasn't lessoned and I don't think it every will.
I quite often ask myself why is this world so cruel.
RE: cancer
I lost my son in 2003 to Synovial Sarcoma when he was 13 months old, he was diganosed at 5 months. It been just over 5 years now but the pain is still there and it always will be, all I can say is it does get easier to cope with the living moment but it will never get easier to live without my son. If it wasnt for my daughter I know that I wouldnt be here now.
RE: cancer
we lost our daugter olivia to a brain tumour aged just 4 years it will be her 6th Birthday on 31st August I am s so sorry to anyone who has suffered with this disease and for those who are still suffering. Cancer does not care if we are young or old big or small it affects anyone and its such a cruel disease and its so so unfair that many lives each week are lostto this.
RE: cancer
Kim, you are so right cancer is dispicable, it shows no mercy and just when you think its as bad as it can get - it goes that extra bit. Katie had malignant melanoma, she was diagnosed last October and died this June. She never sun bathed, worse shorts or went a a sun bed, we are still campaining for more awareness:

RE: cancer
My mum died of cancer, it wasnt a rare form, It was lung cancer, and was more than likely her falt. But nevertheless the pain she went through and the suffering was heartbreaking to say the least to watch. My mum fought it for 18 months once the doctor told her she only had 3months !
To make matters worse she went to the doctors 6 months prior to being diagnosed, and the doctor passed it off as ASTHMA !
My mum was strictly against giving any money to cancer research because she believed if they really want to cure it, they could.
The cancer research building is worth millions and millions of pounds, and is sitting on a gold mine (in ref to location) A way to raise huge amounts of money would be to sell the building and re-locate in a less desiered area ! - But no, they wont do that. Still they claim they do not have enough money for research.... Perhaps you should ask yourself if they really want to save lives, or if they just want to continues as a 'money making scheeme' - and the goverment is prosponing cures to keep down un-employment etc...
I don't know, this was one of the theories my mum had. Perhaps she was bitter at this stage of her life.. I dont know.. I just cant help seeing some truth in it..

Hi my dad passed away with cancer on the 7 th of this month im so angry i love dad so much and miss him so much x
RE: cancer
I to have my own theories about cancer research and the fact that they are no closer to finding a cure, i am still very angry with the way the disease just ravaged my little boys body and not only destroying him but everyone else around, i had a family now we are struggling to keep it together, i have a 17 year old daughter who totally has no respect for me or anyone, a fifteen year old that hardly talks and me and my husband cannot even talk about him, he died three days before my birthday and i will never celebrate my birthday again. i will never give a penny to cancer research as you have said all the money they have and still no cures, to denise so sorry for the loss of your father but i always say to everyone that the cancer did not beat my son it just beat his body he died with dignity and bravery and he went to heaven and that thing went to hell xxx
