Story
Just over 2 years ago (Aug 2014) my son, Jacob, was diagnosed with stage 4 Neuroblastoma, something you never expect as a parent. Although, devastating as it was, treatment soon started. His doctor explained that Jacob would need 18 months of intensive treatment involving chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy and surgery. At the end of his treatment, Jacob's scans showed no sign of disease and that he was in remission. Although this was a fantastic achievement, unfortunately, due to the aggressive nature of the cancer, it returned within a few months. Jacob has since undergone further rounds of chemotherapy, which have proved to be successful. He is now in remission for a second time. We are striving to raise the funds neeeded for Jacob to access a Neruoblastoma vaccine, which is not available on the NHS, nor through other UK providers. This should give him the best chance of staying cancer free and living the full life he so deserves.
