Jordon was a healthy, fit 20 year old in 2016 when he developed a lump in his lower forearm. After numerous visits to his GP and A&E departments he was eventually offered an x-ray which diagnosed the rare bone cancer, Ewing sarcoma.
As you can imagine, we as a family were all shocked at this news but with Jordon’s positive attitude, we all pulled together on what was to be a journey we will never forget. We could not have done this without Jordon being Jordon, as his attitude was positive and he made sure everyone was ok before himself.
Jordon received chemotherapy in the hope of killing the cancer cells, but this was unfortunately not successful and in December 2016 Jordon and the consultants agreed it would be best to amputate his lower forearm in the hope of removing the tumour.
Even with his lower arm amputated, this did not stop Jordon living his life, still driving, socialising and doing what he loved in DJing on his decks.
We didn’t know at that time that the disease had already spread into Jordon’s lungs and resulted in losing the most precious and treasured person who touched everyone’s lives.
On Monday 15thJanuary 2018 Jordon passed away with his mom, dad and girlfriend by his side. Jordon was the best son, grandson, nephew, cousin, boyfriend and friend anyone could wish for and everyone who met Jordon was touched by his attitude towards his battle against this disease.
Jordon hated seeing “sick people” on the ward when he had to have his chemotherapy and laughed all the way along this process to keep his family, girlfriend and friends uplifted and not once did he ever feel sorry for himself, he was always more concerned about how everyone else was.
