A BOY whose fight against cancer touched the nation’s hearts is finally out of hospital.

An astonishing half a million pounds was raised by well-wishers to help Oscar Saxelby-Lee, now six, battle leukaemia.

More than 5,000 people queued to see whether they could be stem cell donors when he was diagnosed.

Oscar had a bone marrow transplant last June after a matching donor was found.

But in October the leukaemia returned, devastating his mum Olivia Saxelby and dad Jamie Lee.

They raised £500,000 in three weeks, the fastest online charity appeal ever, to pay for revolutionary treatment in Singapore.
