Teenager Euan flies to the States to start treatment for rare cancer

An Arbroath teenager has flown to America to begin treatment for a rare form of cancer.

Euan Fellows, 14, has been diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma, which is a cancer of bone and soft tissue.

He has recently undergone gruelling chemotherapy and will now receive proton therapy treatment in Oklahoma.

Euan left for Chicago accompanied by his parents Michelle and Mark on the trip and took another flight to Oklahoma.

His mum Michelle said: “When we get there we will be met by a member of the Pro-Cure Proton Therapy centre team at the airport and taken to the centre to start the prep for proton. This prep takes about 10 days.

“Euan will be scanned, measurements will be taken for the area to be treated then tattoo markers will be put into place. While all of this is going on, we will visit the children’s hospital where Euan will receive his chemotherapy every 21 days and visit if he needs any other treatments relating to his cancer.

“We will be over in Oklahoma for at least nine weeks of treatment.”

Since Euan’s diagnosis in January, thousands of pounds have been raised by the charitable efforts of local people.

Michelle said: “A huge thank you to all of the people in Arbroath and the surrounding areas who have donated money to help make things less clinical whilst we are over in the States.

“With the amount of money raised we will be able to hire a car so that on days that Euan isn’t neutropenic (low white blood cell count), we will be able to take a few short road trips.”
