my beautiful son Dylan was diagnosed in august 2012 at the ripe old age of 13! dylan had a PNET brain tumour. he went through a years treatment ( milan protocol) only to be told 6 weeks after treatment finished that he had relapsed . dylan went through his treatment cracking jokes, playing pranks and being more worried about others than himself, his motto was "HUMOUR NOT TUMOUR'!! when Dylan relapsed i was told he had 4 months left to live and to make the most of the time we had left, devastation panic,anger, and a sense of spinning out of control are just a small amount of the emotion i felt, how is this happening to him??? how could i say goodbye to my son and let him go??? we tried to find other treatments and eventually we were considered for further surgery but this was only to prolong dylans life. somehow dylans tumour dandy move again!! so he started to get on with things and started back school did his GCSE'S and got into physio. In March 2015 we were told dylan had now developed AML leukaemia his treatment was really hard on him and the second round put him in HDU with septic shock, he fought hard and survived. third round and last round.... he was told he was in remission and after the weekend could go home...... new start ahead!!! this wasn't to be Dylan had a turn on the sunday and became very unwell by monday they were running so many tests,scans,bloods, doctors in and out by the dozen, i was taken to a room and told that Dylan was in complete liver failure , i had less than 24 hrs with him........ he was rushed to intensive care and placed on life support. in the early hours of th 28th july 2015 dylans life support was switched off and he fell in to his forever sleep. Dylan was 16 yrs old. this year marks his 21st birthday we are asking for donations in his memory to help other children and families suffering with a cancer diagnosis. www.dylanswish.co.uk thank you so much.
