Listen Later

Gold Ribbon Conversations - The podcast that supports those fighting Childhood Cancer.


In this episode I’m joined by Michelle and Daniel Burke as they share the long road their son Alex has walked since diagnosis of Neuroblastoma aged one and a half.


Alex is now 4 and after every type of treatment including chemo, radiation, stem cell, immunotherapy, surgery and a very specific medication to treat a mutation - Alex is doing really well. 


We talk about his initial symptoms and diagnosis, how Michelle was 30 weeks pregnant with a daughter to also care for when Alex was diagnosed, the years of treatments Alex went through and how last June the news was really not good - until suddenly, the good news they al had hoped for arrived.


We also talk about the supports along the way from Hand in Hand in Galway, play therapists and our Beads of Courage programme.
