At the beginning of October, we reported on the six-year-old returning to school.
Before then, Oscar was last in the classroom at the school in Malvern Road in December 2018 just before he was diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
He then faced a gruelling bone marrow transplant before travelling to Singapore for life-saving CAR-T cell therapy a year ago after the nation backed his family’s plea to raise £500,000 to afford the treatment. They had been told no other treatment options were available on the NHS after his first bone marrow transplant failed.
In March 2019, people queued to attend a donor drive held at the school in a bid to find him a transplant match. Nearly 5,000 signed up to the DKMS transplant register during the event, held over two days at the school. It later emerged at least six donor matches were found at that event.”
