Will's Story

Our son Will, was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in his left leg 3 days after his 18th birthday. He had been significantly unwell for 5 months prior to this, we took him through rheumatology, neurology had numerous X-rays, blood tests and MRIs and were told all sorts of things before finally getting his diagnosis.

Will then experienced 3 months of very intense chemotherapy at Oxford Hospitals, he also had significant knee surgery to remove the cancer and reconstruct his leg, before then undertaking a further 4 months of intense chemo.

During this period of time he was started on Mifamurtide - a kind of immunotherapy which continued until the beginning of December 23.

He has been treatment free for the last 2 months, he has also had numerous assessments.

He is fantastic and has been so brave throughout, he has also raised approx £1500 for Oxford Hospitals during this time.

A tough time for us all. My daughter, Emily also had a baby in May 23 so we are looking forward to spending some together as a family.

Thank you to Ben Saunders Foundation for making this possible.
