Sienna was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia in December 2022, one day after her 7th birthday. She began her treatment seven days later. Her first bone marrow aspirate showed that 90% of her bone marrow was filled with leukaemia and she had infection markers. Five weeks of isolation followed, along with several MRI and CT scans to identify her infection. After spending six and a half weeks in her room, Sienna was allowed out onto the ward to walk around and strengthen her leg muscles.

Sienna finished her second round of chemotherapy earlier this year in February but she still has a long journey ahead with two more rounds of chemotherapy to go. By the end of her treatment, Sienna will have spent 6 months in hospital.

And this is why were asking schools, nurseries and youth groups to take part in Children with Cancer UKs Pyjamarama. Many children, like Sienna, going through cancer treatment spend lots of time in hospital or resting in bed or on the sofa and their familiar pyjamas are a source of comfort. We would love to see students across the country wearing their pyjamas this June in solidarity with children and young people going through cancer treatment.

Children with Cancer UK are one of the leading children and young peoples cancer charities in the UK; tirelessly fighting to improve experiences and outcomes for patients and their families since 1988. Our vision is a world where every child and young person survives cancer. As well as funding vital research, we also raise awareness to inspire action and fund support for families through treatment and beyond.
