Overview

• Freddie Kreyling is halfway through a four-cycle chemotherapy regimen at Great Ormond Street Hospital and his tumour has reduced by about 60 percent.
• A routine complaint of a loose tooth in May prompted dental assessments, strong antibiotics and a biopsy that confirmed Burkitt lymphoma.
• Burkitt lymphoma affects around 250 people annually in the UK but children diagnosed early have a high cure rate with prompt treatment.
• His parents stress the importance of trusting parental instincts and advocating for children’s health by sharing their experience and maintaining positivity.
• East of England Ambulance Service colleagues organised a 10,000ft charity skydive that has already raised over £5,000 to support Freddie’s care and hospital services.
