Few things worse can happen to a mother than for her child to be diagnosed with cancer. An eighteen year old young man – a keen hockey player, swimmer and golfer, with ambitions to fly for the RAF, who have already offered him a scholarship – is suddenly diagnosed with bone cancer. All of his dreams collapse and his very life is in the balance.

It started as a pain, that became a ‘hot spot’, that grew into a tumour, ultimately threatening Andrew’s life. At the very least, his leg would have to be amputated, a chilling prospect in itself.

Count To Ten is the true story of how Andrew and his family coped with the days, weeks, months and years that followed his diagnosis, of the reliefs, the triumphs, the relapses and the outright screaming panics.

It is a testament to Andrew’s passionate determination to pursue his adventurous dreams even in the face of death itself.

It is also a testament to a revolutionary new treatment that was applied with care, expertise and wisdom by the dedicated team at the London Bone Tumour Clinic.

It is so easy to love your children. It is so hard to hang onto hope, especially onto their hope – the hope they need to carry on.
