As of May 2025, Isla had already shown incredible resilience throughout her Rapid COJEC treatment, enduring eight rounds of chemotherapy every 10 days.

Despite her strength and determination, scans following induction treatment revealed active areas of cancer. This meant she needed to undergo a further four rounds of chemotherapy alongside immunotherapy.

During this time, Isla also endured multiple attempts at stem cell harvesting, as well as procedures including ovarian tissue cryopreservation and the placement of a gastric feeding tube.

Unfortunately, because of the challenging location of her primary tumour, Isla’s kidney also had to be removed. As a result, her medical team decided to proceed with tandem high-dose chemotherapy, beginning in January 2026.

In March 2026, Isla underwent her second round of high-dose chemotherapy alongside her second stem cell transplant. In just six days, her tiny body received an unimaginable 17 rounds of chemotherapy. It is difficult to put into words just how much she has endured. Following this treatment, Isla spent two months in protective isolation while her immune system recovered.

In May 2026, Isla underwent a full tumour resection and nephrectomy.

Then, in June 2026, Isla completed 14 rounds of proton beam therapy, requiring a general anaesthetic for every single treatment.

Now, in September 2026, Isla has begun the next stage of her journey: six months of immunotherapy.

Our journey is far from over, and there are still challenges ahead. But throughout everything, Isla has continued to show a strength and resilience that amazes us every single day.

We are incredibly grateful for every message, prayer, donation, and act of support we have received throughout this difficult journey. Your kindness has carried us through some of the hardest moments of our lives. All money raised will go towards further treatment for Isla once she is ‘no evidence of disease’ we plan to explore avenues to ensure her cancer is kept at bay.

We will continue to share updates as Isla moves through the next stages of her treatment. ❤️
