    Anyone had a child go through chemo?

    Much to our shock and devastation, our beautiful 6 month old boy was diagnosed on Friday with retinoblastoma, cancer of the eye. As the are hoping to save his eye, he will be having chemo to reduce the tumor before it is lasered.
    I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice or experience on what I can expect? We are absolutely heartbroken and it has all happened so fast. Thursday we were enjoying our healthy boy, 24 hours later we had a child with cancer

    One of my best friends little boy was diagnosed with neuroblastoma at 7 months old. We used to visit him quite regularly and I'll be honest it was very hard to watch him going through it. Big hugs honey xxx

    I'm so sorry to hear that your DS has cancer. Unfortunately I have no contacts who have been through this, so have nothing other than my prayers to offer.

    Hope your little DS gets better soon. Sending you all strength and prayers.
