Demi knight cancer treatment fund!
Donation protected
Hi everyone, thank you for visiting our campaign for my daughter Demi, me (Melissa Knight, Demi’s Mum) and Wendy (Demi’s nan) have set this up to try and raise the money we need to get demi the best treatment available in the US to save her life, because the UK can’t do anything more for her. Demi has a Medulloblastoma brain tumour, which, after Chemo-therapy, radiation therapy, a major brain operation to remove the tumour which was then followed by conventional treatment through the NHS, it has now returned one year after treatment has ceased!
We live in a small town in Lincolnshire called Louth and appreciate as much help and support as we can possibly get. Please help us by donating and sharing to help raise awareness, and to help with medical costs in the USA for the treatment she desperately needs to save her life!!
Demi’s recent scan results as of 26/4/18 after the first scan showing recurrence also showed how little time we must act, showing progression to be more aggressive than anticipated, this is my girls’ life!!
Through funds that we have raised so far and borrowing some money we have managed to obtain enough to get out to the US and get treatment started, as timing is crucial!! The earlier the intervention the better, but we will have ongoing medical bills in the US for approximately one year and we are frantically needing to raise funds that are so desperately needed to continue Demi’s treatment, please help us, your continued support means EVERYTHING to us and especially Demi who is absolutely thrilled because of everyone’s generosity and kindness, she is able to get to the US and get her much needed treatment started to save her life!!
PLEASE HELP ME SAVE MY DAUGHTERS LIFE!
Demi was a perfectly happy, healthy and normal 9-year-old little girl who, in December 2015, was abruptly diagnosed with a Classic Medulloblastoma brain tumour. After hours of major and life-threatening brain surgery the tumour was successfully removed, followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy which finished in February 2017. Demi was having scans every 3 months until March 2018 which has shown that the tumour has returned around her brain and in her spine.
A further scan at 8 weeks later has shown the disease to be progression faster than anticipated. The NHS are not able to provide any further treatments in the hope to cure the disease as the only treatments in the UK are radiation and chemo-therapy, which Demi cannot receive due to the high doses she received in the fight for the first prognosis!!
Since this news we have frantically been trying to find promising treatment for Demi and where it is available. In our quest to find treatment, we have found the Burzynski Clinic in Houston, Texas, which can offer us the best hope through using Antineoplaston Therapy. However, this Treatment comes at a cost that on our own is impossible to fund and the NHS won’t help towards.
I’ve spoken to parents of a child who was treated at this very clinic after being told their child’s brain cancer was also terminal and all hope was lost, this was back in 2008 and this child’s tumour is now resolved and she is alive and well today!
Our decision is also based on other people’s experiences of visiting and being treated at this clinic, that’s why we’ve chosen it, since visiting the Clinic, meeting all the staff, other patients and Dr Burzynski himself personally, we know that we have chosen the best place and the best treatment for Demi.
We have been told that to get us going we needed at least £35,000 but them costs would be ongoing and will end up costing up to around at least £200,000+ and this is to cover costs of everything that involves getting us out there including the treatment, extra medication, flights, accommodation, scans and follow ups etc. We have since learnt that our medical bills will exceed this estimated total and are now looking to average around £205,000!
We are desperate for funding and prepared to do and go to whatever lengths we need to, to save our Demi and I as a mother will never give up on my daughter, she will not be taken from me and so I’m asking every one of you for your help and support for this treatment that offers the best hope for Demi.
Every little helps’ and I thank you in advance for your support and time taken in helping us.
If we should be so lucky to reach our goal and/or there is any money left over that we don’t personally need to use in helping demi get better through what we are already doing then we would like to use it to help and support other families who may one day be in the same position that I am in right now! I feel it’s only right that the money we raise goes towards what it is intended for, to help save a life!
Dr Burzynski has reviewed all of Demi’s medical records and is very confident that he can treat/cure her!
Never in a million years did I ever think I would be in this position as a mother and have to reach out for help to save my child’s life, we as a family have been through hell and I never ever ask anyone for anything, until now, I need your help, Demi needs your help!

Thanks again for visiting our campaign and reading our story, we hope you can help us! And make this, what we are going through as a family right now, one day, a distant memory, i want to watch my daughter grow up into a beautiful young woman and lead the life that she deserves, Demi is the gentlest, caring, selfless and loving person i have ever known and come across, i am so proud to call her my Daughter! She shows nothing but strength, courage, kindness and determination, she truly is one in a million and she doesn't, nor did she ever deserve any of what she’s had to go through and is doing.
