Little Archer has been so brave
A Clifton boy who was diagnosed with high-risk cancer after suffering intense stomach pain is now waiting for his end-of-treatment scan to find out if he is cancer free. Archer Crawford-Speakman was taken to A&E after a lump appeared on the side of his abdomen, which turned out to be a tumour.
“Every parent’s worst nightmare is hearing that your child has cancer, and nothing prepares you for hearing the words 'we estimate your son has two weeks to live.' Neuroblastoma is a cancer of specialised nerve cells, called neural crest cells, which are involved in the development of the nervous system and other tissues. It mostly affects babies and children under the age of five, and around 100 children per year are diagnosed in the UK.
He spent four months in the ICU and was discharged on December 22 last year. The youngster is now awaiting his end-of-treatment scans to find out if he is cancer free or if a new plan needs to be put in place, but mum Jade says that cancer will always be a part of the family's life due to the fear of relapse.
"Archer has been through so much and we’re incredibly proud of how strong he’s been and the recovery he has made. We now have plans in place for him to begin reception in September and we also have two caravan holidays planned so we can make up for missed time and memories as a family of five.
