Catastrophe star Rob Delaney has shared heartbreaking details about hearing his infant son had a brain tumor — and his tragic death at age two.
“I guess we were just so scared and wanted to be so close, and the horror of what was happening around the block didn’t erase the fact that we loved each other, and sometimes that love manifests as sex, even in the absolute worst of times.”
While the surgeon was able to remove “all the tumor he could find,” Henry was left unable to swallow afterward and his condition continued to worsen. Months of chemo followed, prompting Leah and Rob to make “an active decision to protect our marriage, day in, day out.”“The way this manifested was simple. Leah and I would go on a date once a week, even when Henry was in the ICU. It didn’t have to be a fancy restaurant with a tablecloth. It could be a walk around a park, holding hands. Itnear the hospital. But we had to look at each other and touch each other and check in and see how the other one was doing.
“I hesitate to give advice, but I have to say that if you’re ever in a situation like the one in which my family found ourselves, do not forget to love, touch and look into the eyes of every other family member regularly.” After more than a year in hospital, Henry was finally able to come home. But it wasn’t long before scans revealed the cancer had returned. He died in January 2018.
