A children’s nurse from the NHS is seeking public assistance to fund life-saving treatment abroad for her three-year-old son. Teddy Sloman, diagnosed with high-risk neuroblastoma, lost access to a crucial treatment in the UK, prompting his family to explore alternative options.
The mother, Sarah, aims to raise £250,000 to provide Teddy with the best chance of battling the rare and aggressive childhood cancer. Sarah, also a pediatric nurse, emphasized the urgency of the situation, stating that they cannot stand idly by when a treatment exists that could offer Teddy a brighter future.
Teddy’s journey began last year when symptoms initially mistaken for teething issues escalated, leading to his neuroblastoma diagnosis. Following extensive treatment at Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital in Cardiff, including chemotherapy and surgeries, the young boy’s battle against cancer continues.
Despite positive responses to treatment, Teddy remains at high risk of cancer recurrence. Due to changes affecting NHS patients, the family is now striving to secure the necessary therapy either in the UK or abroad, with limited treatment centers available globally.
As Teddy approaches the end of his current treatment phase, his family faces the challenge of funding ongoing maintenance therapy to reduce the chances of relapse. To support Teddy’s cause and help reach their fundraising goal, donations can be made through the provided link.
Sarah acknowledges the daunting task of raising funds swiftly but deems it vital for Teddy’s well-being. The family remains optimistic about achieving their target to provide Teddy with the continued care he urgently needs.
