I'm Jack. I am now almost 12 and got lymph node cancer in my chest when I was 9. I have had intensive chemotherapy for 7 months and a maintenance treatment with chemotherapy medication for over a year and a half. My Chain of Couragetherefore is very long.
Especially when I was still in the hospital, I had a lot of support from the chain. The second "most beautiful" bead is at the beginning of my chain. I missed my brothers very much because I was so far away in Amsterdam at the Emma Children's Hospital. We live in Kerkrade, Zuid-Limburg.
Because my tumor was very large, I was transported to Amsterdam by ambulance after the doctors discovered what I had. So I didn't have said goodbye to my brothers. The bead represents the visit of my brothers, Bob and Scott.
Because I had to take oral chemo so often and had to have blood samples, I decided to take a bead once a month instead of every time. Even less later. Otherwise my necklace would have been way too long.
The most beautiful bead I received last week. The flower bead. It's done ... I'm going to work out again, laugh more and hopefully I'll be able to sleep better soon.
Greetings,
Jack
