Letter from Tobins mom
I have dreaded writing this post for a while now but today, being the first day of Childhood Cancer Awareness month, it seems to be the most appropriate day.
It is with tears in my heart that I write this update. Last week, we received the worst news possible, that Toby's cancer is growing faster than we can treat it and there isn't anymore that we can do for him. While he has won many battles over the last year and a half, he is not going to win the war with this dreaded disease.
Since his diagnosis with hepatoblastoma on February 14, 2019, Toby has continued to smile and laugh and drive me absolutely crazy with his silly antics! He continues to play with lots of energy, making all of us laugh with his singing and dancing, never giving this disease a chance to remind us of how sick he really is.
He will be starting radiation treatment tomorrow in order to do our best to prolong his life and keep him feeling his best. We do not know how long we have with this amazing little man but we are going to make everyday count and pile as much fun as we can into what time we have.
I am so very grateful for everyone's support, thoughts and prayers we have received throughout Toby's illness. I will do my best to keep updating on Facebook with the many adventures we are going to try to have. Please continue to send your love as I know this last leg of our journey is going to be tough. This little guy has been such a blessing to this world and I wish the world could have had more time with him!
