Please send me your suggestions either by e-mail or PM me....................
Back to Emma's progress......................
Emma continues to be well and the funds will be used as and when she needs treatment in America.
I had a lovely E-mail from her Dad Stephen Clittie, extracts of which are below:
Hello Sue,
At the moment we have reached our deposit target of £200,000 but we are waiting to get over to America to see them. We set out to get Emma to America within 90 days of transplant but due to complications, we never managed this.
When I went to America in August, the doctors told me that they wanted to do scans and test on Emma and this could of costed £10,000 plus, so we had the tests and scans done on the NHS for free in October and all came back clear so our doctors in the UK have said that we should use the American treatment as a relapse treatment. There is an 80% chance this cancer will come back!
Before we get to see the American doctors they want all the scans and test results from October, this is where the current hold up is as we have been waiting for 2 weeks for Alder Hey to give us these scans, we have been assured that we will have them by next week. When we recieve these we can forward them onto America and then an appointment will be made and then a decison will be made for the next step in Emma's treatment but until the doctors in America have seen Emma we don'tknow what is happening.
If Emma starts the anti-body treatment then we will start to fundraise again to help support on going treatment costs in America but until we know what is going on and the fact that we have raised the deposit amount, we have down scaled the fundraising ofr now.
Once again, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support over the last 12 months.
At the moment, Emma is so healthy and "full of beans" we hope and pray she stays this way.
