'He was only 11-months-old so the tumour was taking up the whole inside of his abdomen and blocked his bladder'
The family of a young child diagnosed with cancer when he was a baby, are planning a big night to give back to four worthy charities.
"The doctors said that this can happen for different reasons, such as aUTI. That was on Saturday July 4. He stayed in hospital so that he could have some tests and by Tuesday they told us that Michael had a very rare tumour called Rhabdomyosarcoma. It was 6.5cm x 5.5cm. He had intensive chemotherapy every three weeks for nine months in Belfast and in December 2020, the family went to London and between Great Ormond Street Hospital and University College London Hospital Michael had five sessions of brachytherapy over three days.
Michael, who is now five and started P1 this month, is now cancer free but will have to have at least one more procedure in London to try to remove scar tissue which is affecting him from urinating. He is set to go to Great Ormond Street Hospital on Sunday for tests and investigations before he can have this operation.
