I really want this post to reach out to others that have young children and the worry that how a cancer diagnosis of a parent affects them .
I was terrified for how Trevor’s diagnosis would affect my boys at the time of his diagnosis they where 14 and 9 , babies really compared to lots of others , but also I am sure many other men on here have had similar ages and gone through the heart ache and worry that we did .
i have to say it wasn’t easy in fact I’m not going to sugar coat it Trevor had 5 years after a terminal diagnosis that was horrendous for my self and my boys and of course Trevor ( every thing is documented if you have the time to look back on my posts ) . Most of posts I tried to make it as light hearted as I could in the most of our dire of circumstances.
But and a Huge But here we are today almost 5 years on . James has achieved a 1st and and his Masters in Physics and Astro Physics, Trevor would be so proud of his boys .
My message is although sometimes our children can go through the harshest of times they are more resistant than we think and can and do amazing things regardless of the struggles that life presents .
my message would be have faith in your children they will survive life’s knocks and tragedies ( I was terrified that mine wouldn’t ) but here they are grown men ( almost )
