Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
On the 3rd of July 2017 my 18yr old daughter Jess became very unwell. After many scans, we were told that Jess had a 14cm tumour (Aka Jimmy) in her liver which bled internally 3 times making her very poorly. All the signs so far are showing that it is a benign tumour called an Adenoma. After week’s in Hospital, a few miracles along the way & sheer determination Jess is currently doing really well!
We honestly could not have got through this difficult time if it had not been for the amazing support from the staff on the HPB Liver Unit & all the staff at Leicester General Hospital (especially ward 28) & everyone who has been involved in looking after Jess. Not only have they cared for Jess as if she were their own daughter, sister or friend, they have been there for us in the early hours of the morning with a reassuring hug or to making sure there are no questions left unanswered.
Later scans have revealed Jimmy was the greedy triplet as his two mates Joey & Jerry have also set up a temporary home. They have now been served notices and hoping to be evicted on the 12th of December 2017
We as a family want to give something back & what better way than to nominate me to take part in their annual 100 mile bike ride from Leicester to Hunstanton on the 23rd of June 2018 along side patients & their family members, nurses, Doctors & support staff!
It’s going to be a massive challenge but worth every bit of blood sweat & tears after what Jess has been through.
We can not thank them enough & will forever be grateful.
**update** 7th January 2018 **
Jess is doing amazing after her op on the 12th December, they removed 75% of her liver which was the maximum they could take.
After a few very sleepy days & 3 litres of blood our girl is back tumour & cancer free :-)
We’ve had a lovely relaxing Christmas & now the training begins!
