Big family funday in aid of #IssacsarmyMeet our friends Charlie, Shane and their 3 year old boy Issac..
Issac is full of beans and larger than life especially when it comes to dig-digs (diggers) and football!
In between the fun, the love and the laughter Issac has been a very poorly boy most of his life. Back in March he was taken into hospital with suspected burst appendix, but it wasn't his appendix it was an 8cm by 9cm cyst that was trying to duplicate his bowel. Issac had the cyst removed and was sent home to recover Within a few weeks he bounced back to his cheeky self and was excited to hear that he was going to become a BIG BROTHER!
However..
On Wednesday 31st May Charlie said Issac wasn't feeling well and that he wouldn't be able to make there weekly soft play date. Issac went down hill and was taken to A&E on the Friday which resulted in him being sent to Bristol Royal Hospital for Children.. Charlie and Shane were given the news that no parent wants to hear, unfortunately Issac was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer Rhabdomyosarcoma. Charlie's, Shane's and all their loved ones world crumbled.
Issac has a long road ahead of him as he faces more scans and the cancer is too aggressive to wait to be transferred to London so he will start Chemo here in Bristol. He will have 27 weeks of Chemotherapy followed by more surgery then the potential of Radiotherapy.
Since hearing the most devastating news that our best friends crazy, funny, digger mad son has Cancer we have felt totally helpless, especially as Charlie and Shane don't ask for anything.. but are always there when you need them!
Charlie and Shane are currently out of work while spending all of their time in hospital, with a beautiful baby on the way and yet still with bills having to be paid - we are wanting to help with travel costs with having to travel 52 miles a day, parking, food, bills, items that benefit Issac like comfy clothing, a bigger pushchair for when he's too tired to walk etc..
They are at present having to travel between Bath RUH and Bristol Children's hospital, at some point will have to travel to Birmingham and London for treatment.
