Support Buster through his transplant

As you might know, Buster's leukemia has unfortunately returned.

This has been particularly devastating after a rough couple of years, and with everyone hoping this was the end of it. It's especially harrowing as the relapse happened only two months after the end of treatment which has been very traumatic for Eloise and Matt (and Buster of course).

The amazing consultants at Great Ormond Street hospital have come up with the next treatment plan but it's going to quite brutal. He will be having a bone marrow transplant late December. He will need total body radiotherapy and chemo in the leadup to prepare his body for the transplant. This is to kill off all his bone marrow so that the new transplanted marrow will make healthy cancer-free blood. As you can imagine, this will be really intensive treatment. There are permanent, life-changing side effects, plus he's obviously going to be incredibly weak and at risk of infection. Depending on his recovery he may need to be in hospital for up to four months.

This is going to be a really tough time for the whole family, Buster is going to have to deal with so much, poor love, and El and Matt are going to have to be right there with him. They're going to find it very difficult financially; they won't be able to work over this period and will need help at home, which is where this fundraiser comes in. If you're able to, please donate to this fund to help support them in this really challenging time.

Thanks so much everyone, and let's keep our everything crossed for a successful transplant and quick recovery, and no more damn cancer!!!!

30th November update:

Just want to say a MASSIVE thank you to everyone that has donated so far. Eloise and Matt are completely blown away by everyone's generosity. As Matt said "We're honestly stunned by this, it has immediately relieved a massive worry" .

The amount raised so far should help support them for 2-3 months which is amazing. Keep sharing it if you can. Them not having to stress about money while there are so many other stresses is an absolute gift. Thanks again SO much everyone.
