In an emotional post, the American Horror Story creator posted a picture of his son Ford Theodore Miller Murphy who, when he was two years old, also the time when they found out about Ford’s diagnosis.

But in the post, Ryan revealed that his son was celebrating his fourth birthday which he called a “milestone”.

Murphy, who is married to David Miller, also praised his husband for being a ‘rock’ through it all.

He wrote: “I’d like you to meet Ford Theodore Miller Murphy. Today is a big day in his and our family’s lives.

“Two years ago, this sweet little innocent boy with a deep belly laugh and an obsession with Monster Trucks was diagnosed with neuroblastoma…an often fatal pediatric cancer.’

“Ford’s cancer — an abdominal tumour the size of a tennis ball — was found during a normal checkup by his brilliant paediatrician Dr Lauren Crosby @drlaurencrosby.’

‘From there, Ford has undergone a huge surgery and several difficult procedures.

“My better half, David Miller, was a rock through this — strong and patient and loving (I was always a trembling wreck).

“Ford was strong as well, and today he is thriving. He just celebrated his fourth birthday, a milestone we are all so thrilled about.”

The Glee creator then went on to say that his son was doing well because of the help at the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and donated $10 million to the hospital.

Ryan continued: “Ford is doing so well because of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles @childrensla.

‘Today at the hospital we are donating a wing in tribute to Ford and our family is making a gift of $10 million dollars so that other children can experience the love and care of this exceptional facility. No child is turned away at Children’s Hospital.

“We are so honoured and lucky to contribute and encourage everybody who can to do the same. We love you, Ford.”
