Lottie's Cancer Treatment
Donation protected
We are raising money for treatment only available in the US for our beloved Lottie.
She is amazing and an inspiration!!
Despite battling her illness she has been studying Creative Arts for Theatre and Film at Uni, and lived in a student house with her mates, until December 2014, now having to live back at home!
Lottie was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a rare brain tumour when she was eight. She had surgery, chemo and radiotherapy, which left her very fragile, and she had to learn to walk again, and return to school.
She gradually recovered, and was in remission for 10 years, before being rediagnosed in November 2012.
She was dancing at the front of the O2 Black Keys gig, the evening after she'd been in hospital.
Lottie has never liked to be defined or held back by her illness. Sher never complains or dwells on her misfortune. She is a beautiful and intelligent girl, our precious friend and daughter..
Now,however, her current chemo is no longer holding back the growth of her cancer, and we are in a race against time to find an alternative treatment.
Her friends and family are raising funds for her to go to the Helen Devos hospital, in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
There is a trial taking place there, pioneered by Dr Giselle Scholler, using a new combination of existing drugs which will cost $60,000 over six cycles. Our first visit cost $25,000 for chemo and medical procedures.
Lottie has now had two rounds of chemo, and the treatment is holding back the growth of the cancer. We now need it to start reducing.. this is very promising, and this would not be happening if not for the support of everyone who has donated. We will keep you posted.
Thanks so much for reading this, and giving a donation to this cause _ it means so much to us..
