Pregnant Deavan Clegg has revealed that she is enduring “every parent’s absolute worst nightmare” after her three-year-old son was diagnosed with leukaemia.
The 90 Day Fiance star’s little boy Taeyang, who she shares with ex-husband Jihoon Lee, is fighting the childhood cancer, b-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
The reality star broke the news on Instagram with a series of heart-breaking pictures in which little Taeyang could be seen in his hospital bed, hooked up to machines and wires.
The heartbroken mum-of-two, currently pregnant with her third child, wrote a lengthy caption alongside the poignant images.
“I have vowed to always be 100% transparent with you guys and I am choosing to share the most vulnerable and saddest point of my life right now in hopes it can help give anyone else dealing with a similar situation some strength,” she began.
“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.
“He has already undergone multiple procedures and started chemotherapy treatment just two days ago. This is every parents 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. 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,” she continued. “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. I’m so beside myself right now and my heart is broken. Thank you friends and supporters for your prayers, healing vibes and strength.”
Deavan’s friends, family and fans rushed to the comments to offer their love and support.
“Omg I’m so sorry. Sending you so much love,” one follower wrote.
“He is strong. We will get through this. I love you guys so much,” another said, while a third penned: “I am so sorry. I can’t fathom what you must be going through. My thoughts are with you all.”
“Oh I am so sorry! This breaks my heart,” another follower replied. “No child should have to go through this! Sending strength and love.”
Deavan and her reality star husband Jihoon first stepped into the spotlight on season two of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way.
Their relationship playing out in front of the cameras and they have Taeyang together. Deavan also has daughter Drascilla from a previous relationship and another baby on the way.
‘Oh I am so sorry! This breaks my heart,’ a follower replied. ‘No child should have to go through this! Sending strength and love.’
