Super Lys’s Journey
Lys consulted their GP a couple of times before far more worrying symptoms rushed her to A&E, where a few days after tests, they were found to have masses on both ovaries. After admission to hospital, CT and MRI scans, Yolk Sac Germ Cell Tumour was diagnosed: a very rare form of ovarian cancer, affecting just 1% of the young female population. Lys is now being treated with chemotherapy in London and at Addenbrook’s following surgery.
Lys sent us a very sweet message after they received their Supershoes: “I just wanted to say thank you so so much for my custom converses, I absolutely love them so much. Definitely a lovely surprise and honestly has made me so happy seeing how amazing they are. Thank you so much to Super Artist May, who painted them, you absolutely nailed it!!”
You’re so welcome, Lys; we’re delighted they made you smile!
