“I’m overcome with so much emotion and devastation to announce that my beloved son Taeyang who just celebrated his third birthday last week was just diagnosed with childhood cancer, b-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia just a few days ago.
“This is every parent’s absolute worst nightmare and I’m trying hard to stay strong for Taeyang, Drascilla and my baby in my tummy. Taeyang will need around the clock hospital care and this will be a long two-year process that has a high success rate of full recovery in five years.”

She went on to add: “I’m still processing all of this and asking for prayers, please.
“If anyone would like to donate to assist with his medical care, I would be forever grateful as this nightmare has been completely unexpected. The link to donate is in my bio.
“I will also create some kind of support-fundraiser t-shirt this week too just still trying to wrap my head around all of this. Also if anyone knows of any childhood cancer support groups and resources please tag them below.
