A loving Telford mum is preparing her little girl for a new anti-cancer treatment that will mean her being isolated and given so much radiation that it will turn her into a "walking Chernobyl".Debbie O'Kelly's bubbly daughter, seven year old Dulcie, from Lawley, is battling stage 4 neuroblastoma and has gone through so much in her short life since being diagnosed more than a year ago.
Debbie is also launching an appeal to add more momentum to her fundraising just in case even more treatment is needed and she has to go abroad to get it. They have just passed the £101,000 mark but may need as much as £250,000. Debbie said the clinical trial is called MiNiVAn and it’s conducted via University College in London, and at Southampton will start with her being isolated for five weeks starting in the school summer holidays.
"We have toys that Dulcie loves but she won't be able to take them with her, or if she does she won't be able to bring them back because they will be so irradiated."Thankfully Debbie says she will be able to hug her daughter but only while she wears overalls.
