Cancer: Real-life stories

Sarah told us about her gorgeous boy

My son Bailey was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumour medulablastoma aged just 2 1/2 years old... After 18 months of treatment including surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy he sadly lost his battle in 2005

Please support all our warriors. 

Cancer is the biggest killer disease of children in the UK

Approximately 3 children/teenagers will die this week from cancer 

Cancer is the most common cause of death in children aged 1 to 14 years, accounting for around 20% of deaths in this age group.

Brain tumours claim more lives than any other childhood cancer, accounting for more than a third of all childhood cancer deaths.

Help support those children who are affected my the disease.

This post focuses on tumours.

So often "missed" through diagnosis, tumours can cause irreparable damage just in their presence.

So, don't be fooled, benign is far from 'fine'.

In future days, we will address the some of the different types of cancer.

The key thing to take from this is that cancer is not just one disease but a myriad of diseases with one common theme, irregular cell division. And the scariest part? Until January 2015, I never dreamt it would happen to my child. But here I am 20 months later and she is gone.

So, don't be an ostrich. Don't scroll and ignore.

This is real. It happens every day. It's happening right now.

So, what can you do?
