Today’s I Draw Childood cancer infographic is Wilms’ tumour. One of my cousin’s sons was diagnosed with Wilms’ tumour in November 2018 at 21 months of age. He ended up having one of his kidneys completely removed, and he has been cancer-free since June 2019. Another little boy we met during treatment, also had Wilms’ tumour, and sadly he was one of the 20% of children who do not survive their cancer diagnosis. Little Sylas was one of the sweetest boys that you ever could meet, and he had a smile like a 100 watt lightbulb. Not a day goes by where I don’t think about him, or his family, and I'm happy to have known him, and to remember him. His mother has a Facebook group, Strength From Sylas, which aims to raise funds for childhood cancer research, and to help local families who have a child undergoing cancer treatment.
