Seven treatments in and Jacob has been amazing

Seven treatments in and Jacob has been amazing. Jacob was very worried about not being able to move his head or body but he was brilliant. A lot of thought had gone into his playlist to be streamed into the treatment room to ensure that he feels comfortable. The staff have been amazing and so positive. Thanks for all the support you have given.

Our little super hero Jacob is now selling aprons to raise money for the charities that have helped us since his diagnosis, and to set up a 'fighting fund' for Jacob so we can look at other treatment options elsewhere to help him.

We need to raise national awareness of the common signs and symptoms of a brain tumour in children and young people by equipping parents, the public and healthcare professionals with information they need. This is achieved through the distribution of symptom cards and posters to raise awareness of symptoms, and the promotion of a clinical guideline and training module for health professionals.

Every day 25 people are diagnosed with a brain tumour - that's over 9,300 people every year. Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of the under 40s, including children. Survival rates have not improved over the last 40 years - just 19% of people survive for 5 years or more.
