    Story

    We have set up this page to raise money for the most wonderful little boy who has sadly been diagnosed with an extremely rare and aggressive form of cancer. We want to not only help J-Jay but his family in this scary time.

    A few short weeks ago, J-Jay began to voice discomfort in his leg to which a short visit to the doctor was put down to ‘growing pains’. Leading a fun filled life running about and playing with his school friends, It was impossible to imagine just how wrong the ‘growing pains’ could be.

    J-Jay’s symptoms steadily got worse and he began to experience a ‘tingly foot’ - pins and needles in his leg and foot.

    One night, J-Jay awoke and began crying in agony, he was rushed to hospital by his mummy where multiple tests were ran. The results revealed the worst possible news. A mass, 11cm by 8cm - roughly the size of a mango - was growing in his pelvis, eating away at his hip bone and reaching ever closer towards the base of his spine. Following these results, J-Jay was quickly referred to a specialist hospital.

    During the short time he has been at the hospital, he has already been fitted with Mr Wriggles (His Hickman Line) and a biopsy has been taken to establish exactly what type of cancer he is so bravely fighting.

    A long and difficult journey awaits J-Jay and due to how aggressive cancer is, He has already undergone the first (of many) courses of intensive chemotherapy.

    Whilst we do not know exactly what type of cancer he is fighting, we do know that his journey will include many sessions of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and in the future, surgery to rebuild the bones ravaged by the tumour.

    Less than 4 weeks ago this brave boy was laughing, running and playing as any young child would, but is now wheelchair bound for his long battle ahead. A major shock to us all, but even more for J-Jay who cannot understand why “Mr Blobby” (J-Jay’s name for the bad lump) is causing him so much pain and problems.

    So please, join the battle alongside Mr Wriggles (the Hickman Line) in the fight against the cruel and horrible Mr Blobby for J-Jay, his mummy and siblings. Help us make precious memories; support with the journeys back and forth for treatment sessions and to reduce the financial stress for this young family in their time of need.

      Well JJ has spent most of the past week in isolation due to a common cold, but his temperature seems to be settling down and fingers crossed he may make it home tomorrow for a few days after 6 solid weeks in hospital. He had a CT scan yesterday to see if the chemo is having any effect - the results show that the tumours haven’t grown or spread so he’s continuing with more chemo starting on Wednesday in the hopes that it might start to shrink the tumours - another 2 rounds of chemo until the next set of scans.

      It’s been a rough week, with the 2nd round of chemo making J-Jay really sick bless him, and he had to be started on intravenous nutrition to help try and build him up. But we are slowly getting there, we’re still in hospital and J-Jay hasn’t managed it home yet with his temperature and nutrition keeping him in, but hopefully over the next few days we can get that back into some sort of balance. He was able to see his little sister today for the first time in over a month (only for a little while), and they have both missed each other so much.

      Today we’re starting round two of chemo, and J-Jay is taking it in his stride like the brave soldier he is 💙 three days of chemo, followed by two days of fluids to rehydrate him. Fingers crossed his temperature doesn’t spike this time and he can make it home for a while next week.
