Overview

• Nikki Seymour, 46, continues her breast cancer medication while supporting her two-year-old son Kit, who was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma at Birmingham Children’s Hospital earlier this year.
• Kit’s persistent symptoms, including severe constipation and lethargy, were dismissed over 30 medical visits before Nikki insisted on an X-ray and ultrasound that uncovered a mass.
• His treatment regimen includes high-dose chemotherapy, a stem cell transplant, radiotherapy and immunotherapy that carry significant risks and side effects.
• Seymour is advocating for parents to demand urgent scans when children show ongoing symptoms after her struggle to secure a timely diagnosis for her son.
• A GoFundMe campaign has raised nearly £20,000 to offset travel, accommodation and childcare costs as the family makes frequent trips to Birmingham for Kit’s treatment.
