At the age of 18 and after months of severe pain in his right thigh, Billy was diagnosed with Ewings Sarcoma of the right femur. Ewings Sarcoma is a rare and aggressive bone cancer that affects mainly young people.

Billy started an intense year of treatment in London which included intensive chemotherapy spanning 10 months, daily radiotherapy for 6 weeks and finally surgery which removed Billy's entire thigh bone.

At a time when Billy should have been starting out in life he found himself battling this tough disease. He was too ill to see friends and spent the best part of a year inside a hospital. He also had to learn to walk again after surgery.

Unfortunately, just several months after finishing all of this treatment and just as he was beginning to rebuild his life, he began to experience severe pain in his hip. Billy and his family were told on Christmas Eve that the cancer had come back in his hip and also in his left arm.

Billy has now been back on more aggressive chemotherapy treatment for the last few months, will have further radiotherapy and yet more surgery. This time, having his arm replaced with titanium as well as further surgery to remove his hip. The surgery will leave Billy with further challenges in life and he will need to learn how to walk all over again whilst now also not having the use of his arm.

Billy's is currently being treated in London at a specialist sarcoma unit and his mum, Becky stays by his side throughout.

Billy's mum Becky is only able to work limited hours as a result of Billy's care needs and together with the additional costs associated with living away from home this adds to the challenges.

Billy is an amazing young man who has Continued to bring positivity and love to all those around him despite the hardship of battling stage 4 cancer.

Please help us to help Billy beat cancer and make life that little bit easier for him
