Noahs cancer treatment in the U.S.A
Donation protected
Noah Carrick, is my little brother. He was diagnosed with a rare cancer called Rhabdomyosarcoma, at the end of October when he was just 16 months old.
He had surgery at Alder Hey children’s hospital almost straight away to give him ‘Wilbur’ (his central line) and a feeding peg into his stomach and was immediately started on Chemotherapy. He has already had 3 big doses of chemo at 3 weekly intervals, with pushes of chemo on his weeks off.
He has been so incredibly brave and has overcome all the hurdles and obstacles this journey has already thrown at him with his trademark smile firmly in place. He is still playing hard, smiling often and laughing always! There is still a long way to go for Noah, with up to 9 rounds of Chemo in total with surgery planned in early February.
Our whole family is delighted that he has been accepted for Proton Beam Therapy in the USA in mid-February as this is something he needs to make his treatment as successful as possible. This is a nationally commissioned service funded by the NHS in England. They will pay for Noah’s treatment and also, travel and accommodation for his parents. Grandma Christine is going with Noah to give her ongoing support to the family unit, but she will fund herself.
They will obviously incur living costs in America above and beyond their usual day to day costs and with that in mind people have already begun to show their generosity by fundraising for them.
Any further financial support would be welcomed and when he is well again, all funds remaining in Noah’s account, will be passed onto the Oncology Department at Alder Hey.
Should you wish to make a donation, however small, to help with expenses please use this page.
Thank you in anticipation of your support.
