A couple of weeks ago a reporter from WalesOnline contacted me, they wanted to know how Dylan was doing & asked if they could do a follow up piece on the article that we did for the Mirror in the summer about Dylan’s cancer diagnosis…that article was subsequently published & printed in many hard copy papers as well as online at home & abroad.
The reason they contacted me again was because the piece raised a lot of interest & that in turn raises awareness.
We agreed to do a follow up interview because we are determined to continue to raise awareness & to honestly discuss the challenges we all face within the realms of childhood cancer. It also shows how fa he’s come.
Again, we were met with the utmost respect & patience & again we are proud to be able to shine a light on the reality that is our day to day; the more people who are able to understand & get even the tiniest glimpse into this world, the more we are doing to educate people about the ongoing plight that is childhood cancer.
This is great Siobhan for all the reasons you describe. None of the words or pictures are a surprise to me having followed your blog for so long and yet that picture titled “Dylan in hospital” still kicks me in the gut. I thought of Dylan often the last week when the boys have been ill and of how thankful I am when they start to pick up. I can imagine the strain of not knowing what’s round the corner but Dylan definitely shows a real resillience and strength at the moment. And that glossy hair, wow :0)
