JAKARTA - The name Tommy Spurs may rarely be heard in the English Premier League competition when he was a player. He is just a former player from Sheffield Wednesday and Blackburn Rovers.
Later the name Tommy Spurr appeared in a number of British media because of his inspirational story. She was accompanying her baby, Rio, who was suffering from kidney cancer.
This cute three-year-old child has just undergone chemotherapy, a continuation of the previous session. The Sun launched, there will be further radiotherapy and there is no guarantee of success.
The cancer was discovered last April when he complained of stomach pain. It was discovered that he had Wilms' tumor, a form of kidney cancer in children.
He also has two tumors in his lungs and even if chemo and radiotherapy are successful, there is a high chance that the cancer will come back.
In such cases, the survival rate is around ten percent and the only real option is to seek pioneering treatment abroad.
Of course, it costs quite a bit. Financial problems were engulfing Tommy, who had played for Doncaster and Preston.
He is no longer working after focusing on accompanying his son to fight cancer. Currently, Tommy and his family live on a dwindling savings account.
Now, Tommy and his wife Chloe are faced with having to find funds for Rio's medical expenses. "Rio's chemotherapy means we have no choice. He could be in the hospital for four days and with what he is feeling, we can return to the hospital easily," said Tommy.
"This has been a nightmare. We are draining the savings and thanks to the help and kindness of people have shown that we can keep going," he continued.
While Chloe said, with a small survival percentage, they wanted to give Rio every chance to go overseas.
“If that means selling the house, of course we will do anything. But we're trying to keep life as normal as possible."
For now, Tommy and Chloe will spend the next two weeks with their child at home. After that, he will undergo another chemo.
Keeping life normal with Rio is a struggle in itself. But Tommy and Chloe were both trying hard.
"He's a very smart little boy and asks a lot of questions. We told him he was going to have minor surgery," said Tommy.
