Trystan and Jodi: ‘I won’t let cancer take my son’
“Cancer is what took Trystan’s father away. I thought I was going to lose my son. I just thought: ‘He’s going to die.’ There were times when he came quite close to it.”
Cancer affects families in more ways than one. Cancer took Jody’s husband, but she is hellbent on making sure it won’t take her son.
Receiving a Red Bag was one of Jodi’s never forget moments during Trystan’s cancer journey. For her, it showed her somebody cared.
