I don’t even know where to begin. My heart is heavy, and I’m struggling to find the right words. We finally found out why Evan hasn’t been feeling well lately — the cancer is back.
This time, the leukemia isn’t just in his bone marrow. It’s also in his spinal fluid. He’s been having terrible headaches and back pain, and he just feels awful.
The road ahead is going to be even harder than before. The treatment will be much stronger than it was the first time, and he will also need a bone marrow transplant.
It’s heartbreaking. No child should have to go through cancer once, let alone twice. When I told Evan the cancer had come back, he broke down crying.
Last night, I stood in the shower for what felt like forever, hoping I could somehow wash away the pain of the day. But it didn’t work. This morning, the reality really hit hard.
Please send him all the prayers, love, and good thoughts you can. He’s going to need every bit of it.
