Overview

• In August 2022, after his mother spotted a white glow in his left eye, Felix was diagnosed with bilateral retinoblastoma at Frimley Park Hospital and urgently referred to Royal London Hospital.
• On the eve of scheduled surgery, an MRI at Great Ormond Street Hospital uncovered a third tumour in Felix’s pineal gland and leptomeningeal disease, prompting eight months of intensive chemotherapy from September 2022.
• A post-treatment scan in June 2023 revealed a liver mass later confirmed as lymphoma, leading to two more years of chemotherapy at Southampton Hospital.
• His treatment included a 40-day high-dose session, a stem cell transplant and a sepsis scare from an infected port, leaving him with permanent hearing loss that requires a lifelong hearing aid.
• As he prepares to finish chemotherapy in July 2025, friends have launched a fundraising campaign to send him and his sister to Disney World and bring some normality back to their childhood.
