It’s a reminder of the disease that took away so much.
It fought hard to destroy us, but we fought harder and we destroyed it.
Cancer is shit.
Cancer in kids is worse than shit.
To the families who are going through this awful fight, our heart breaks with yours.
To the families who also destroyed the cancer, we remember and celebrate with you.
To the ones who fought as hard as they could - we remember you. We remember your names and we remember sharing the wards with you. You’re in our hearts.
Childhood cancer, you suck.
(This photo was taken mid-chemotherapy treatments. For two weeks every month of his cancer treatments, I wasn’t allowed to kiss Dexter because the toxic drugs could pass through me and into my unborn baby (who I was pregnant with). That was shit.
Dexter needed me. He needed comfort and love and I couldn’t touch his body fluids.
I couldn’t kiss him.
Those two weeks when kissing was ok - we made up for the weeks we couldn’t kiss! Those kisses were glorious.)
Dexter’s Cancer stories are on this website.
Dexter was diagnosed with hepatoblastoma- liver cancer, when he was 13 months old.
He is now cancer clear.
