Read Mik’s heartwarming story about his life with and after neuroblastoma.
Renly's story
“Renly was diagnosed with high-risk neuroblastoma when he was two years old. It was just four short weeks from diagnosis to Renly passing away... but that’s typical of his journey; he arrived too soon and left too soon.”
Renly’s mum Sarah shares their story.
James's story
James was diagnosed with neuroblastoma after a family holiday in Wales, at just 6 months old, and was given the all clear in February 2020. His mum Lisa shares his story.
Ryan's story
Ryan and his mum Lisa are supporting our Christmas Appeal this year. “Ryan was diagnosed with stage 4 high risk neuroblastoma on 26th October 2009, when he was three years old. He was given less than 5% chance of surviving until Christmas. Today, Ryan is a happy 13 year old. I hope that sharing our positive story goes a long way in giving other families hope.”
Oscar's story
“Oscar was 18 months old when he was diagnosed with neuroblastoma and OMS, or ‘dancing eye syndrome’. He was in surgery for six hours whilst the doctors performed a biopsy. The surgeon came to see us afterwards and simply said “I’ve got it.”.
Oscar is like a different child now. He’s just so much happier. He’s tough, he’s strong willed and stronger for all he’s experienced.” His mum Keira shares their story.
Freddie's story
Freddie was diagnosed with Stage 1 neuroblastoma when he was nine days old. During surgery, consultants found Freddie’s cancer had progressed to Stage 4s - a type of neuroblastoma found in very young babies.
“Our first child was born with cancer, so our first year was different to most others - but that was our norm.” Kerrie and Cameron share their story.
Evie's story
“We were told that Evie had neuroblastoma just before Christmas 2015. In March 2017, Evie got the all clear and rang the treatment belI. During her treatment, I really needed to hear from families whose children had survived, I needed to know that children made it. That’s why I wanted to share our story, to share the good news.”
