The Adventures of a Cancer Mom! Have you ever been so scared that you sucked in your breath and held it, well I feel as if I am still holding that first breath.
Christian and I (Sarah) are the parents of a 4 yr. old, beautiful, sweet boy named Sven who was diagnosed with Leukemia on 4.19.09. Immediately we started chemotherepy treatment for Sven with the Pediatric Oncology Center @ Stony Brook University Hospital on Long Island, NY. I will outline some highs and lows and most of all type some frustrations away :-)

A Friend
If you ever get a chance to speak to Sven you will notice that he refers to everyone he ever meets to as "a friend" he is a love and he has a million friends. A mom of one of these friends just txt'd, Sven's friend is in the ER (holy crap!) I hate these momments because in some way all these lil warriors are connected and at one time or the other you have been in the ER and it sucks you know the feeling, you know the anxiety you know the complete sense of helplessness. I cheer for them all because in a sense you are cheering for your little boy who has cancer, let them all be ok and you then can smile and say "ok Sven will be fine too".
I am Sven's Mom Sarah! I am trying to get through these days, and months and years (almost 1) of my son's cancer diagnosis. Most days are still sad but I try and keep my chin up because I take keeping this family healthy and happy seriously. My husband is my rock and Sven is my light. I still cry daily though now when I feel it coming I hide in the bathroom with the door locked I think Sven worries for me too much, his heart is soooo big!
