Chance is an 11 year old boy who has been diagnosed with LCH Langerhans cell hystiocytosis .

This is a rare condition that doctors are unable to establish wether it’s actually a cancer or a cancer like disease either way this poor little man is going to be going through rounds of chemotherapy and aggressive steroids. It’s unknown how his body will react to the treatment. Currently his T11 in his spine has multiple fractures caused from his condition and is essentially broken (which after almost a year of being back and forward to the doctor they sort a second opinion and this is how the family come to find out about his condition) chance has been hospitalised multiple times so far just with MRIs, Tests, Biopsy of both his spine and his pelvis and sickness due to his weakened immune system.

MRIs have confirmed his LCH has attacked his T11 vertebrae, His S2 vertebrae, His lower right to ribs and has spread to his pelvis where he has 5 lesions in various places. Due to his long stays in hospital, the time both his mother and grandmother have had to take off work has added extra financial pressure to an already stressful situation not to mention that chance won’t eat the hospital food which is just another expense. Due to Chances condition and the places in his body it’s affected he can no longer play any sport which is a complete deviation to this extremely sporty family.
