We Thought It Was Over… | 3 Months After Cancer Treatment

Three years ago our 9-month-old son was diagnosed with AML leukaemia. This is what the first 3 months after childhood cancer treatment really looked like. There’s a belief that when you ring the bell, the journey ends. That once treatment stops, life goes back to normal. But having lived it… we can tell you that’s not how it works. This is Episode 1 of our 8-part series documenting the two years after treatment — told from a mother’s perspective. No hospital day-by-day updates. No dramatic edits. Just an honest, powerful timeline of what life after childhood cancer actually looks like. In this episode we cover: • The emotional reality of discharge • The fear that follows every cough and fever • Unexpected hospital visits • Trying to rebuild normal family life • The first steps towards hope again We’re sharing this for one reason — because when you’re sitting in a hospital room at 2am searching for hope, you need to see that life can exist on the other side. Twenty-four months. Eight chapters. Three months at a time. If this helps even one family feel less alone, it’s worth it.
