Story
This Is our son Colby and he has currently a
very large hemangioma on his right eye and eyelid. A hemangioma is a benign and
usually self-involuting tumour, swelling or growth of the endothelial cellsthat line blood vessels, and is characterised by increased number of normal or
abnormal vessels filled with blood.Unfortunately we cannot get this removed on the NHS
or even in the UK. Colby has been on medication which should normally shrink a
hemangioma but it hasn’t worked which means that our only option is to travel
to New York to the Vascular Birthmark Institution, a hospital which only
specialises in the removal of hemangioma’s and vascular birthmarks, to have
this professionally removed. If this isn’t removed properly it could result in
Colby losing his eyesight and he would be left with a horrific scar.Thank you all again for taking the time to donate
and read this :)
