Letsbewheel Hi! My name is Lewis, I am the founder of Lets be Wheel, a space dedicated to disability advocacy and supporting those with long-term conditions.

Let’s Be Wheel is a movement dedicated to raising awareness, breaking stigma, and advocating for accessibility and inclusion for those with long-term conditions and disabilities. Living with long-term cancer has shown me firsthand the challenges of accessibility, inclusion, and daily life with a disability. I want to use my voice to inspire change, share stories, and connect with others who understand.

For the first time in my life, I didn’t feel like I had to prove my cancer was real.

Last week, I gave my first ever speech at the Bone Cancer Research Trust conference, and I left with so much more than just a speaking experience.

From hearing incredibly moving stories, to meeting fellow patients, survivors, families and the next generation of researchers, I finally felt like I was in a room full of people who understood.

I even made some new friends, had some great food (and cake 🍰😉), and managed to make a cup of tea so weak it should’ve been classified as a war crime.

But jokes aside, living with an incredibly rare bone cancer can be a lonely experience. Hearing researchers speak about my condition reminded me that it’s real, it matters and people are working hard to understand it.

I don’t want anyone else to have to go through what I have, but I’m so glad I got to meet people who understand the journey.

Here’s to more conversations, more research, and making sure nobody feels alone in their diagnosis. ♿🧡

A huge thank you to for the invitation and incredible opportunity to share my story!

As we all can easily tell, I’m no expert radiologist or doctor but I am a self proclaimed spot the difference specialist and so today we’ll be reviewing my latest MRI results together!!

I’ve seen enough episodes of the good doctor! How hard can it be right?!

This video features Dr Noidea (a character I’m working on… 😂)

Last year I had a wake up call! I came down really poorly and thought my cancer was dangerously spreading.

Thankfully it wasn’t but being that ill made me realise that every day we get healthy is a good day! and should absolutely be filled with random and crazy side quests just like this one!

We don’t get to determine how much time we have, so we’ve gotta make the most of every day!

Let me take you with me to pack Monday fair once again!

Huge shout to all of the awesome stall owners we had the pleasure of meeting! .scotcheggs .macarons

Remember when Bone Cancer was scrubbed from my medical records? Well, we’ve had a response…

After speaking to specialists in Bristol, Oxford and Birmingham, there have been some BIG developments in figuring out what happens next with my care.

Although this whole ordeal has been incredibly infuriating, it’s nice to finally have some good news to share!

There’s still a lot to unpack, a lot of questions that need answering, and a long way to go! But at least we’re moving forward.

Rare conditions shouldn’t mean patients have to fight this hard to be heard. Like come on man…

IT’S TIME TO GET THE APRON ON FOR SOME BAKING!!

I’m bringing back my one speciality for a very special lady! It’s my mum’s birthday so today let’s make some blueberry muffins 🫐🧁

Now I’m no baker or chef but I have seen big cook little cook so I know a thing or two;)

This vid also features my new trusty medical cooking stool, because standing at the kitchen counter for ages isn’t exactly my idea of fun. But eating blueberries whilst chilling watching the oven from it, is!

Happy birthday Mum!! 🎂🎈

I have bone cancer but today I decided to audition for a London pantomime! 🎭

As a disabled actor, you sort of get used to being turned away and can definitely read the signs that you’ve just ‘made things difficult’ for a production. But not this time…

I went up to London for my first ever theatre audition! And honestly… it surprised me in the best possibly way!

I wanted to make this video to not only shed light on this awesome company but to shout to my fellow disabled actors out there to check Chaplins out!!

Once again a massive thank you to Chaplins for the opportunity! I’m grateful for the experience and I truly wish you guys the best with the Christmas pantomimes!

I genuinely can’t believe what I’ve just found out. I feel a little sick.

After 16 years of living with Adamantinoma, I’ve discovered that somewhere along the way my medical records went from me having osteo-fibrous dysplasia with Adamantinoma (bone cancer) in my right leg… to having fibrous dysplasia in my left leg.

And it may explain A LOT.

Years of questioning myself, feeling like a fraud. Spending months in counselling trying to work through exactly those feelings.

And it’s only now I’m finally starting to understand why.

I’m pi**ed off. I’m confused. I’m relieved. And to be honest, I’m just trying to get my head around the whole thing!!

But I think this is only the beginning of finding out what actually happened.

This is why patient voices matter and I will not let this go ♿️🧡

Well my last video truly did blow up! I never intended for that to happen but it’s always lovely to know people around do actually care so thank you!

My family and I have put in a formal complaint to that hospital about the doctor’s actions on Monday.

But we will also follow this up with the GMC to take further action. After all this is supposed to be a sarcoma specialist, dealing with cancer patients day in day out but with that level of disregard for patients I’d be incredibly concerned for anyone else seeing him.

We’ve also booked a meeting with our local MP! This may not achieve much but we hope by talking to him, we can bring the young and disabled ‘ageist’ problem to the forefront in Parliament. Doctors and now as we’ve seen, journalists, really do look down on younger patients and it needs to stop.

Anyways, the ball is now rolling as far as getting my care transfered is concerned so I’ll keep ya posted! Thank you again for your support!! ♿️🧡

Today proved EXACTLY why I feel like a fraud with my cancer.

I was already anxiously awaiting this appointment, spending months back in counselling just to prepare for it. But I didn’t even have a chance to get what I needed from this trip.

What I did get however was the cherry excuse to transfer hospitals.

I’m just very glad I brought my mum with me today, so she could see first hand the type of stuff I’ve been going through here. What an insane experience.

If you don’t laugh you’d cry 😮‍💨 A big thanks to my counsellor and teenage cancer trust rep for giving me the confidence to ride this one out!
