Story
I'm joining Cancer Research UK's Race for Life this year for Chloe, my great niece, who is suffering from Neuroblastoma. She is only four but is battling this disease for the second time. Diagnosed when only two her parents were told she had advanced stage 4 high risk metastatic neuroblastoma, meaning the tumours had spread throughout her body. She had a large tumour in her abdomen and the cancer was in her bone marrow throughout her skeleton. Following high dose chemotherapy, radiotherapy, an operation to remove the tumour and immunotherapy Chloe received the news that the cancer was in remission, over £100,000 was raised for treatment in the USA to stop the disease returning but days before she was due to fly to the USA tests showed that the cancer had returned, however, the neuroblastoma is not in her bones indicating that it was caught early and she is now undergoing another bout of chemotherapy. The specialists at Great Ormond Street Hospital are developing a treatment plan that they hope will put Chloe back into remission.
Chloe was recently featured in an ITV documentary called "Raining in my Heart" which brought her plight and that of Sophie and Fabian's to the British public. Tragically Sophie and Fabian did not survive cancer and Chloe has a 10% chance of survival. To find out ore about Chloe please visit her facebook page at www.facebook/chloeballoqui
