Personal Stories
A growing collection of individual neuroblastoma experiences and perspectives as told by the families, friends and carers most closely affected.
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.
