Message to all: thank you all so much. This morning, we hit the target, so the treatment can commence. We're keeping the fund open, so that we can continue to support the family and ensure the very best chances, but I wanted to say a HUGE thanks to supporters of ALL clubs that have helped out. Chaz
That's great news, Chaz. Let's now hope that it does the trick. Thanks for bringing this to the board's attention; you're clearly a good mate to have.
Nina's story is now going nationwide - let's hope we get an upsurge in interest, and maybe some specialists will see and offer advice etc. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/a...our-pains-turn-bowel-cancer-spread-liver.html
It's been in the DM, the Mirror, if it's in the Metro, that's great, because of the number of people that will read it on their way to and from work. Thanks for letting me know!
Had a great fundraising night Friday, raising over £8,500. Looks like it will all be needed, because there's more cancer than was initially thought, so the treatment is going to be more intense and lengthy. Let's keep hoping for a positive outcome.
Really sorry to hear that, Chaz, but great news on the fundraising. The poor lass and her family have been through hell. I hope they now start getting the better news they deserve.
Hi all, just thought it was worth posting an update now things football-wise are going a little quiet. Nina's doing really well - this update from her husband Ed really tells her story: *** Round 6 kicking the crap out of cancer today with my gorgeous Nina. We've just had breakfast and she is ready to take another 5 hours of chemo and Avastin. What most of you don't know is she then has a pump fitted she takes home which infuses drugs for another 48 hours. She gives herself blood thinner injections and white blood cell injections every day and tablets each day on schedule morning, noon & evening! Through this she never moans or complains of one single thing (except understandably my cooking skills!) I know you all see Nina as 'amazing' to go through with this, but trust me, if you'd been there each day you'd realise that the word 'amazing' doesn't even come close! *** As I say, just a quick update and another opportunity to say thanks for all the interest, donations, positive thoughts/prayers, and encouragement. It's a long road but it's being walked with a smile and a massively positive attitude.
Quick bump and update... Today, Nina started on the clinical trial of the new treatment over at the specialist Cancer Centre in Tennessee. The lengthy chemo has obviously taken an emotional toll as well as it's physical effects, but she's very strong, very positive, and one of the most up-beat people you could ever hope to meet. We're all now waiting to get the initial results of the trial, hoping that the outcome is good news! Thanks again for your support and your continued thoughts. Chaz
Fingers crossed for a positive outcome,obviously one very brave woman.If only there were more people in the world like her,it wouldn't be in the ****ed up state it is!
Got to do another shout out to IwasanotherwatfordR, who kindly organised some England tickets to auction. Cheers mate...
