Needing advice/support for a baby diagnosed with cancer

Do any of you have experience with finding out your 4 month old has leukemia? I just have. We are waiting while he has his first round of chemo right less than 5days from diagnosis. I could use any advice on that for baby for family all the things included with a diagnosis this extreme. Coping understanding anything.

Prayers for healing :pray::revolving_hearts:

I have never been in your shoes. I will definitely keep you and your family in my prayers :heart: I am so sorry your son, you and family have to go through this.

Children are resilient and the very best fighters! Trust and lean into your team of doctors and nurses; they are there for you

Find a support group… sending you strength and light.

:people_hugging: sending prayers for your family.

I would find a naturopathic doctor vs going the traditional route. Chemo is poison.

#LIFEFORLONDON Is a mother who shared her daughter’s cancer story from the diagnosis to the remission. She still posts occasionally. I’m sure you could message her and she would have great advice.

Praying for your baby :pray: :palms_up_together:

(((HUGS))) This is unfair! It stinks! Why did this happen to my child. Go out in the wood, a field, a beach and scream it to the wind. Rely on the doctors and especially the nurses. Love your baby. comfort him or her. Be mom. Set boundaries with family and friends. Tell them if you do or don’t want to hear stories about other babies, herbal medicine… Pray. Most of all remember that stages and statistics are only numbers. Your baby is a fighter and can beat this. :pray::pray::pray:

I can’t imagine what you are going through :sob::sob: I’m so sorry

Mama. I am sorry that you are going through and even though many may have gone through something; this is your baby and turning to the Father is a better choice. A friend can be there sometimes but only the Father is with you 24/7 and He can guide your journey. Father you know what mama is going through and You will be her salvation. I pray for mama and baby and in Jesus name Amen

I don’t have any experience with my baby having cancer but at 14 days old my daughter Leilani was diagnosed with a terminal lung disease called cystic fibrosis. It is a mutation in her chromosomes. She’s on 2-4 breathing treatments and vest treatments a day for life. There is no cure. I’m here if you need to talk just pm me.

Set boundaries with everyone about visiting. Too many people claim allergies when people immune systems are gone and it can and will kill them to catch anything. Ask for help when you need it! You’ll be at the hospital a lot so make sure to take care of yourself. Eat some decent food, sleep, add a hobby that you can do quietly in the room, get a therapist. Make a phone tree, a page, something so you aren’t constantly giving updates to the family.

Definitely find a support group

My granddaughter was diagnosed with ALL 5 days before her 2nd birthday. She went through chemo for a little over 2 years. She just celebrated her 6th birthday this past weekend. She is strong, thriving and a little sassy ! It was a very long process but she is doing very well. Don’t lose hope. Take care of you too. Prayers for your child

Omg im so sorry love. Sending prayers :heart:

I’m unclear if it is your baby or someone else’s… if it is someone else’s, just be there for them.
Having had a child with cancer, you find out who your true friends are. Some just disappeared. Maybe they didn’t know what to say or it made them uncomfortable… it’s a weird time for everyone, but I had no time or energy to nurture relationships. Don’t just offer support, do it. Gas card, gift cards, food, mow yard, clean house, etc…

I don’t have and never had a child with cancer, but as a nursre I want to tell you to take it one day at a time. If people are offering to help you with bringing food to you, whether you are the hospital or home, accept it. If you have animals at home and you are at the hospital, let someone else take care of them for now. Take turns being with your child while the other parent goes home, takes a hot shower, and does self care, as you both are going to be on your A game when you are with your child. The one that goes home is the one to send updates to family and friends through a blog or Facebook or even “The Caring Bridge” to cut down on the calls and text messages to you both, as those can become intrusive. People who love you want to help but don’t realize that the constant texting is wearing you out. If it is at all possible sleep when your child sleeps, as you will need to keep your stamina up. This is a rough road but count on your “village” to help you out. Good luck with everything.

No experience, but as an RN, I looked up St. Jude’s for infant Leukemia and depending on types of course, most have a pretty high cure rate above 92%.
I wish you the very best. Maintain a strong Faith as God works miracles everyday in people lives.
Our sick child miracle was she was covered on antibiotics from 4 months old and the illness she had, similar to CF, covered not only her lungs, but her kidneys, and ureters, which we later had ureters reimplanted and no kidney damage was seem on her little 8 year old kidneys. She is 35 today, had a baby two years ago and has been doing very well and the surgery is considered her cure!
( In note, her grandfather died on dialysis having same problem, but undiagnosed and father a few years ago also ended up having a surgery.)
My point for you is Miracles, Faith in Jesus, God Heals!
Stay strong through the chemo, radiation whatever treatment is needed! Prayers!

I am praying For healing for your baby !

My daughter was diagnosed with leukemia at 4 years old. There’s different types that will determine treatment plan. Stay strong, it can be a long, hard battle, but you can get through it ! The first month is the hardest as they really push chemo to get rid of the leukemia. After that it gets a little easier.
