Some fantastic news for Lucy, a marvellous young lady some of you met at the Society's AGM near Preston last year and recipient of the £7000 raised by members at the charity auction. Wishing Lucy and her family the best of luck for the next stage of her treatment in Michigan 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸After 2 years and 3 months on this journey, 794 days on cancer treatment we now have ..... CLEAR SCANS!
Yes! It’s official - there was “no evidence of abnormal uptake “ on her scans!!!!!
However - We’re not quite out of the woods just yet as her bone marrow results , which we got today, show a small amount of cells still in her bone marrow. We’ve had a video call with the USA today and the consensus is that the treatment there will hopefully address the risidual cells.
The Flights are booked and we’re off to the USA so that Lucy can enrol on the DFMO trial.
Thank you so much for all your messages of support. We are super proud of this brave young lady and immensely grateful that she has come this far.
To all of you who have followed our story, made a donation , prayed for us or fundraised to help our cause; friends , family and even strangers who have come together and got us to where we are today. Lucy will get to the USA because of YOUR kindness and generosity and for that there are no words- thank you just isn’t enough. You know who you are, and I hope you know we are sincerely grateful.
So here we go....🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Much love
Team Wright 🎗🎗🎗🎗
