Dying boy has heart-breaking plea to be laid to rest next to his mother
A TERMINALLY ill boy has issued a heartbreaking plea to be buried beside his mum in Poland so she can look after him when he dies.
Filip Kwansy, seven, has battled a range of conditions since he was two and is now receiving palliative care to make him comfortable as cancer takes over his tiny body.
Filip, from Colchester, Essex, has been living in London’s Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital since being diagnosed with juvenile myelomonocytic leukaemia (JMML) — an accumulation of abnormal blood cells in the bone marrow — in September last year.
It follows a diagnosis of neurofibromatosis type 1 when he was two, from which he initially recovered.
Unfortunately, treatment to cure the boy of his most recent illness, including a stem cell transplant and chemotherapy, has failed and the cancer has now spread to his intestines.
Despite barely being able to speak, this week he sent a personal thank you from his bed on the hospital’s Fox Ward, to the people who are giving donations to help make his dying wish possible.
He said: “Thanks for helping make my wish come true.”
