Story
Calebs was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma the embryonal form stage 4 the rare and aggressive on the 1/8/15. It was found in his jaw, mouth, all left side of face, a rib and bone marrow.
Rhabdomyosarcoma is a type of sarcoma. Sarcoma is cancer of soft tissue, connective tissue or bone. Rhabdomyosarcoma usually begins in muscles that are attached to bones and that help the body move. Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common type of soft tissue sarcoma in children. It can begin in many places in the body.
We first notice there was something wrong when he came in from the garden with a lump, prior to this there was nothing to notice he only has a cold 2 weeks before we noticed the lump but because of that cold the lump came out! If he hadn't it could have took alot longer to come out and possibly to late to treat and cure!
On the day we noticed I took him straight to a&e where he had xrays they sais he was a cause for concern so next day was gp who was completely struck by what was wrong so she referred him to hospital and from the following day it was constant examinations, phone calls, ultra sounds, xrays, bloods etc, when they couldn't give us a definate answer of what tumour it as we got reffered to addenbrookes and with a few weeks of mris, ct scans, bloods, biopsy and surgery to have his Hickman line put in Caleb was diagnosed with cancer!! I didn't have time to think or process the information as Caleb had started his chemotherapy that day!
He had 6 most of intensive chemotherapy and 5 weeks of radiotherapy and on the 3rd march he started maintaince which he has one chemo drug everyday and and chemo drug twice a month and also blood tests every week, regular test will continue till march 2017.
Caleb wants to raise money for those who have helped him but because that's so many people we cant do just one charity, so he wants to help the play specialists, nurses, and all the other children n there families! List is endless.

8 years agoI just want to start by saying to everyone thank you for your support and prayers! On Tuesday caleb became poorly with seizures well we went for the ct scan, before I got told to prepare for bad news, so then u think we'll that says everything!!bthe results It's not good news, they have found legions on his brain caused by the cancer coming back which is why he's having seizures. His seizures have chance to get worse and cause a lot of problems for caleb. I've just been given the plan of what's to happen, which will be more radiotherapy

8 years agoThe money we raise we will split between Norfolk n Norwich hospital and addenbrookes. We will give checks to the play specialists for them to use on things like the beads of courage, equipment and toys. We will also be providing the wards with more school equipment and new toys, books and so on. I will also be getting information from both hospitals on medical equipment needed and if we can help with that then great to xx
