Dani and Nuno's story

"I was in complete denial. It won't be cancer, it'll be something else"

Nuno was just 8 months old, fighting cancer in hospital. Through long, frightening days, music therapy brought him moments of happiness.

Nuno's mum, Dani, said:

“He had so many tests, it must have just been terrifying for him, really. And as parents, you're there next to him while people are putting a new NG tube down or putting in new cannulas or changing dressings and things, and I think you just have this huge sense of helplessness, but also guilt because he'd look at you and be like, help.

But it was just. It was magic. You would just sit there and smile at him because you would see him just be a normal child for a little while.”
