Hi, I have some very very sad news to share and hope that you will all say a little prayer for a specail little 6 month old baby named Calum. My friend gave birth to a then very healthy happy baby boy 6 months ago. About 2 weeks ago his vigilant mother noticed her baby seemed to be wheezy and took him to hospital. At first the Doctors thought baby Calum had TB,but after further investigation discovered that it wasn't TB but cancer. This cute little baby has cancer, a brain tumour. We were warned that this was very unsual and rare and that the prognosis was not good. However it was decided that Calum would be given chemotherapy (the doctors said they wouldn't give him chemo unless there was a chance he would survive). It has only been a few weeks since his admission and diagnosis. Now unbelievably we have been told that the chemo hasn't done anything to slow or stunt the growth and it would be inhumain to keep giving him chemo. He has been on a ventalator and life support machine to help him breath etc. My friend is devasted that there is nothing that can be done to save her little boy. He has been taken off the ventilator and we have been told he only has a matter of days if that. Bascially it would take a miricle to save him,as the tumour is shaped like a small donought and because of where it is, it cant be safley removed. The wee soul is going to pass away soon. I am pretty devasted myself because i have never heard of a baby having cancer at 6 months old. I didnt even think it would be possible. So very soon there is going to be a funeral. I have been praying for this little boys life and have asked for people to pray for him. I would like to ask anyone who reads this to please say a little prayer for baby Calum. Does anyone know of any Prayers that could be posted here? I know its only a matter of a very short time, but when the inevitable has happened i would like be able to tell his Mother and Father that people around the world have been praying for their child. I am hoping for their sakes that this will comfort them in some way, as there is absolutley nothing i will be able to say or do to take away the massive pain they are going through. God Bless Calum and his parents.xxx
