Our Little Breya Needs Your Help

A Note from Breya’s Parent’s Hollie and Ollie

Our little Breya was admitted into Colchester General Friday 13th January 2017, after our continuing fight with GP'S and Consultants to recognise her symptoms as a concern. Finally someone listened to us...a Cancer Specialist Oncoligist who examined Breya in the Childrens Assessment Unit.

Our world came crashing down when we were advised that she had a suspected mass in her stomach. After 3 days of tests, scans and examinations at Colchester Hospital we were told to expect that Breya had a form of cancer. No parent ever wants to hear those words, and we won't even try to explain that feeling as no words can even start to describe.....but this is the hand we have been dealt.

We were discharged and transfered to Addenbrookes in Cambridge on Wednesday 18th January 2017, onto Ward C2, Onlogology Department. After a CT Scan, numerous X-ray's and a biopsy Breya was diagnosed with stage 4, Neuroplastoma, a tumour in her stomach originating from the Adrenal Gland, and spread of the cancer to her bones.

We Need Your Help

We need your help, little Breya has been fighting high-risk neuroblastoma since the age of 2. She now needs 8 vital scans not provided on the NHS, to regularly check that she’s still ok and act quickly if she’s not.

In January 2017 a tumour was initially discovered on Breya’s adrenal gland and grew to consume the whole of her stomach, spreading to her bones and bone marrow too.

But now Breya’s completed frontline treatment in the UK which included intense chemotherapy, a 14-hour operation, radiotherapy, more chemotherapy, a stem cell transplant and immunotherapy.

Devastatingly around 40-50% of children with high-risk neuroblastoma will relapse and once that happens, less than 1 in 10 will survive for more than 5 years.

The focus then for Breya’s family is to do everything to prevent the cancer from returning. After 2 years of fundraising, they have enough to access the Bivalent Vaccine trial at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York.

But they still need your help. Breya needs various treatments, treatments that unfortunaly are not provided by the NHS, the target is £24,000 we really need your help.

Any donations, support, words of advice would be really so truly appreciated.

Thank you x
