We don’t usually pay too much attention to “cancer months” but an email today from Cancer Research UK mentioning September being Childhood Cancer Awareness Month containing a link to “information on children’s cancers” got us thinking about signs and symptoms. Although the article didn’t focus specifically on childhood brain tumours (nb brain and spinal cord… Continue reading The Head Tilt Brain Tumour Symptom

Happy 10th Birthday William
So, the wee man who is the namesake of this website turned 10 today. It’s hard to believe that 8.5 years ago we were told he wouldn’t likely see his 7th birthday so his 10th is kinda special! As always, thank you for all your support over the years – without you we wouldn’t likely… Continue reading Happy 10th Birthday William
2022 Stable Scan
It was a bit later than scheduled but William had another routine scan yesterday and his tumour was found to be stable. He’s now being put on a 6 month schedule… For those not aware, the gold cancer ribbon is the internationally recognised symbol for childhood cancer, one I wear regularly along with my “cancer… Continue reading 2022 Stable Scan

It has been difficult thinking of how to write this post, which a large part of me, for many reasons, want’s not to write, so I’ll start with a bit of background. When it became clear, over three years ago, that The Children’s Brain Tumour Research Centre in Nottingham wouldn’t consider carrying out research on… Continue reading CBD, THC and Childhood Brain Tumour Research Paper
We’re Back…
As with many other charities, organisations, supporter groups etc., 2020 certainly knocked us at Make William Well off our stride as those of you who follow us may have noticed by the lack of blog posts over the last year. In 2021 though we’re hoping to get back on track and if all goes to… Continue reading We’re Back…
