Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On a Friday just over 1 year ago I had just got home from school and had a quick trip to McDonalds. I was playing with the toy I got from McDonalds when my Mum and Dad asked to have a quick chat with me in the kitchen. They explained that Mum felt a lump under her arm and brought it to the doctor. The doctor said it was cancer. 

I felt very worried and I wanted to have a hug with both of them. Clatterbridge Cancer Centre was extremely helpful with my Mum. 

When my Mum went through treatment it was very scary and it felt like it would go on forever. When she started getting better I felt very relieved and I wanted to have a hug with both of them again. 

The hardest thing was worrying about what happens if the treatment doesn’t work. I kept thinking about how amazing and successful the NHS is. Talking to teachers in school and talking to my Mum and Dad helped me feel less worried. I picked this charity because they gave my Mum excellent treatment. 

And if any children feel worried because someone in their family has cancer my advice would be to speak to your family and your teachers.
