Shaun’s Health Update
2 April 2026
Last weekend Shaun caught a tummy bug, he stopped vomiting but he started to have very high fevers that didn't go away.
On Wednesday he went to the doctors, who then sent him to hospital in an ambulance.
They did many different tests to figure out what was going on and found he has a staph infection in his blood.
However, while doing these tests they also found that the cancer has now spread to his heart.
There are many different factors that link these two things together that also make for a worse outcome than usual. The biggest being he cannot have any form of chemo/cancer treatment while fighting the infection because it is too dangerous, and they're not sure they'll ever get rid of it for good because of the way it likes to hide in the heart and the way that the cancer is allowing it to do so.
Unfortunately there's nothing they can do other than try and make him as comfortable as possible as he could only have weeks left.
Shaun, Isla, Ezra and Archie need support more than ever as they navigate this next stage of Shauns cancer journey.
