Our son was only 2 years old when he was diagnosed with leukaemia. It started off with him hitting his head. And then the bump didn't resolve properly.
I had just got my license as a registered nurse so I knew that something was wrong. But I was too scared to face up to it. Then it came to a point where I couldn't ignore it anymore. His gums started bleeding, and he was very pale. That started our four and a half years of chemotherapy.
A lot of things happened that were very traumatic as a parent . . .
