Story
Jess Sheppard was diagnosed with a rare childhood cancer when she was only 3, this went into remission spontaneously.
In December 2013 she unforttunately relapsed and Jess had to have hchemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy and Retinoic Acid therlay but again relapsed in 2015, 2 months after treatment completed.
Jess then had more surgery, high dose chemotherapy, stem cell transplant, radiotherapy and Retinoic Acid. Sadly Jess relapsed before this course of treatment had finished.
Since February 2016 Jess has endured constant treatment, she has been part of the BEACON trial and had metronomic treatment, all of which have been unsuccessful.
Jess now has 3 tumours, 1 has attached itself to her Collar bone, Jugular vein, Carotid artery and sternum, The latest tumour is attached to her wind pipe. Jess has now been accepted on a phase one trial ( these are trials for children who have no other options). She will be commencing the Car T cell trial after New Year. This means we as a family are facing what will more than likely be our last Christmas with Jess. She will tell you she doesn’t worry about her cancer because that is Nanny’s job. At 10 years old, Jess is fully aware of her disease and the possible outcome.
She has made a bucket list, she has wished for a trip to New York, so she can do a night fly in a helicopter, visit the Statue of Liberty, The Empire State Building, The One Observatory, a horse drawn trip through Central Park, but most of all she really wants to go shopping, and boy can this girl shop.
Meeting Katy Perry would be the icing on the cake!!!
