A teenager has spoken about the treatment he has received for his rare form of blood cancer.
Seb Watt-Bonar, from St Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex, was diagnosed with leukaemia in February after feeling unwell.Despite this, the teenager's attitude has remained positive.
Seb is being treated by the Royal Marsden specialist cancer doctors with a new immunotherapy drug rather than long hospital stays. He said: "I have a shoulder bag with a pump in it and the drug. It’s like an electric pump which is pumping all the drugs into me constantly and instead of that I would be doing three months of chemo straight.""That was really tough. But you know, you slowly gain back strength, and then I got three infections in a row and I remember on my last infection was 10/10 pain," he said.
"I took him to A&E on Friday morning, half past seven – by half past one we had a diagnosis. They were amazing.”Despite the diagnosis and treatment, the attitude of the 15-year-old has remained positive."That's what I've been doing and it's worked. In March, several classmates and even some teachers shaved their hair in a show of support ahead of his chemotherapy treatment.Follow BBC South East on
