Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Neuroblastoma is a childhood cancer. It is the most common cancer diagnosed in the first year of life and accounts for around 15% of cancer deaths in children

My beautiful Godson was diagnosed at only 10 days old after doctors discovered he had a tumor on his Liver!!

Fortunately at 14 months old he's doing fine

  • Approximately 100 new cases of neuroblastoma are diagnosed every year in the UK
  • Of these babies and children, around 50 - approximately half - will have high risk disease
  • The long term survival rate for high risk neuroblastoma patients remains less than 40%, which is around half the average survival rate for childhood cancers

Neuroblastoma is the commonest 'solid' cancer diagnosed in babies and children
