Bibi's Story | Neuroblastoma | Solving Kids' Cancer UK

At just two years old, Bibi was diagnosed with stage 4 high-risk neuroblastoma, a rare and aggressive childhood cancer. Over the next five and a half years, she spent much of her childhood in hospital, where art became a source of comfort, joy, and distraction. Bibi sadly passed away in May 2024, aged just seven. In this film, Bibi's parents share her story and reflect on the role art played throughout her treatment. Together, we can bring hope and change for children with cancer. Donate: solvingkidscancer.org.uk/donate --- About Solving Kids' Cancer UK Solving Kids’ Cancer UK works to support children with the aggressive childhood cancer neuroblastoma and their families. Neuroblastoma is an aggressive and rare childhood cancer that affects around 100 children in the UK each year. Most children are diagnosed below the age of five and treatment can be intensive and gruelling, including chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy and immunotherapy. Sadly, neuroblastoma has a high rate of relapse, meaning that even after successful treatment, the cancer can come back. If it does, survival rate drops to a devastating 1 in 10. They offer family support, to be there for families of children affected by neuroblastoma throughout their cancer journey. They also provide access to treatment, offering impartial information to help families navigate the complex medical landscape and choose treatment options for their child. They fund innovative clinical research bringing kinder and more effective treatment options to the UK for children fighting neuroblastoma now, and in the future. Solving Kids’ Cancer UK is fighting for a future where no child dies of the childhood cancer neuroblastoma or suffers due to its treatment. To find out more, visit www.solvingkidscancer.org.uk
