Help Georgia
Donation protected
My 15 year old daughter Georgia was sent for MRI scans on Monday 2nd and Tuesday 3rd October 2017 due to persistent headaches she'd been having for about a year, on Wednesday 4th October we were sent to see a neurosurgeon at Manchester children's hospital and on Friday 6th October she was having surgery at manchester to get a biopsy of the tumour and remove what they could. Due to where the tumour is located it has nerves running through it and the surgeons could not fully remove it, Georgia recovered like a trooper and the biopsy they took came back as a grade 1 glioneuronal tumour so her oncologist and neurosurgeon were happy for he to have no further treatment and to monitor with regular scans.
Unfortunately her first surveillance scan in January showed the tumour had grown and she has been suffering with headaches again, her oncologist has decided the best treatment for her would be proton beam therapy and for this we would be sent to florida. We are currently awaiting the NHS funding decision if we are given the go ahead the NHS will fund Georgia's treatment, our flights, accommodation, and transport.
However we need to raise funds for all living expenses for us both for 3 months in florida and days out to hopefully lift both our spirits as we will be leaving behind at home close family and friends including my partner, 3 yr old daughter, 5 month old son and Georgia's dad, Aunties and other close relatives.
