Biography

At Christmas Toby became unwell, we took him to the doctors where we were told that he had a virus and he would be ok in a couple of days. However, Toby became more unwell and was so weak he was unable to walk. We took him to A&E and on Toby's 4th birthday we were given the devastating news that Toby had stage 4 neuroblastoma. We were absolutely devastated, we didn't know what to do. Toby had gone from a very active little boy to being unable to move without help. We were told that Toby would need intense chemotherapy & radiotherapy as well as an operation to remove the main tumour on his kidney. We were told that the treatment would last at least a year and it will make him very ill. The initial treatment did not work as expected and Toby has had to have 2 lots of very intense chemotherapy that is given for 7 days at a time which has made him quite ill and has resulted in Toby spending a lot of time in hospital. We are currently having a full week of tests to find out if this treatment has worked. If it has Toby will then undergo an operation to remove the main tumour on his kidney. If this treatment hasn't worked the doctors will need to discuss Tobys case with doctors across Europe to see what they can do next
