Ebonys proton beam journey
Donation protected
Ebony was diagnosed with a pilocytic astrocytoma braf v600e mutant on the 1.9.2018. She was taken to kings hospital and had a 9 hour brain operation 3 days later. They removed 40% of the tumour. It started to grow so she started vinblastine chemo 3 days before christmas. She got to 45 weeks on it before it stopped working and the tumour grew some more. She then started vincristine/carbo chemo and got to week 20 before we realised it had made the tumour grow to the same size as it was before surgury. She lost her hair and had lots of transfusions and side effects. We have now been offered proton beam therapy which will take place in manchester, germany or america. It will just be me and Ebony for 6 weeks. Theres a 99% chance she is going to lose her hearing in one ear, lose her hair again and a few other complications with her growth. All this in nearly 2 years!!! I set up this go fund page to just help with costs while we are having treatment, travel, food, and other expenses. Thanks for reading xx sheri xxx
