A fundraising appeal is calling for donations to help a young Westmeath man beat a rare form of cancer. Lee Wallace is suffering from a bone sarcoma in his pelvis and his cancer has spread to his lungs. There are neither an oncology sarcoma specialist nor an orthopaedic oncologist who specialise in pelvic sarcomas in Ireland. The next day he was told he had a large bone sarcoma of his right pelvis and would be transferred to the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in Birmingham. However, this has not progressed as hoped and the pelvic tumour has grown, while his cancer has spread to his lungs.
