A boy who survived cancer twice still needs round-the-clock care but dreams of playing sport and meeting TV wildlife expert Sir David Attenborough.
Mikail Hassan, ten, is now in remission, but chemotherapy, radiotherapy and a stem cell transplant have weakened him.
His mother Arzu has taken on the role of his full-time carer.
Mikail, of Grays, Essex, found a lump on his neck when he was eight and was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in 2020.

He lost his hair and struggled to walk. After months of treatment, he went into remission. But it returned last February and he spent his tenth birthday in hospital before recovering.
Mrs Hassan said: ‘He loves sport. He’d love to get back to physical activities. He loves David Attenborough – he’s watched all of it.’ The Mail has teamed up with Cancer Research UK to launch the Fighting To Beat Children’s Cancer campaign, which is raising money for vital research into cancers affecting children and young people.
We are asking generous readers to dig deep and help turn the tide on cancer. All money raised will support Cancer Research UK’s work on cancers affecting children and young people so more 0 to 24-year-olds can survive with a good quality of life.
