This global pandemic isn’t picky and favors no one but it is especially dangerous to people who already have diseases or conditions that lower their immune system.

We worry for them and pray for them. And it seems like one of these prayers has come true because a 4-year-old boy with a rare disease has just won over CoVID-19.

Archie Wilks, who was diagnosed with a rare childhood cancer, neuroblastoma, has caught the novel coronavirus during one of his treatments.

He developed a fever at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge after his chemotherapy and immunotherapy, and was quickly moved to a coronavirus ward where he was diagnosed.

‘It was scary to be moved into the coronavirus ward as we had no real information about how a child in his position might cope with the virus.’

– Mr. Wilks

Mr. Wiks also praised the staff who made them feel at ease especially the parents. Archie was brought home last April 1 when he was well enough and was safer to be in isolation at home.
