Team Leo

Leo is our beautiful boy, diagnosed with a rare cancer called Parameningeal Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma on May 7 2008, aged 3 years, 3 months. His treatment was full-on for 6 months with both chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The cancer is inoperable due to the location in and on the brain. The cure rate is 50% so all things crossed that Leo's in the right 50%. This blog is our way of tracking Leo's progress for all our family and friends plus for other parents and families going through the same.

Update...Off to the Royal Marsden

Confirmed today that Leo's radiotherapy is definitely going to be at the Royal Marsden, the UK's specialist cancer hospital based in Surrey.

And that's about all I can update right now as I'm being instructed to put down the laptop and relax...yeah, right! Leo's best friend Jack and his mum, Marie (my best friend from Spain) are here to give us some sense of normal life...and it is actually working. Leo and Jack have just got on with things and held hands walking through Bristol Zoo and dressed as pirates at Blaise Castle. Another normal day then?!

Right, so tomorrow brings the first Team Leo Guest Blogger in Marie so all eyes to the ready! Update tomorrow, and more about our move to Surrey as and when we have it. If anyone knows anyone who has a spare apartment /house for rent for 6 weeks from the beginning of August, then do let us know, as long as it's very close to the Royal Marsden.
