Sheryl always wanted a family of four. But less than three months after her dream came true, it became a living nightmare.
She was given the news no mother wants to hear. Her new baby, only 11 weeks old, was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
"The irony of life has hit my family so hard and everything doesn't make sense anymore. It feels like only yesterday when I posted about giving birth to our Rainbow Baby Thomas and here I am writing about his imminent death," Sheryl Blanksby writes on her mummy blog, called Ms Chikee.
"His death. Can you even get your head wrapped around that concept? I can't."
The Perth mum reveals her "heartbreak" after Thomas was diagnosed with Malignant Rhabdoid Tumour two weeks ago at 11 weeks old, adding he is "still fighting".
"I can't even begin to describe the pain I feel each time I look at his precious face," she writes.
