'Warrior' teen who beat cancer aged six now needs to raise £100k after 'terrible news'
A schoolgirl has been diagnosed with cancer again - nine years after beating the devastating disease.
Mum Jill told the Manchester Evening News: "I've been devastated since Jahzara's doctor told us. It's twice we've had to face this terrible news, no family should have to face this. In mid-December she had surgery, this time on her spine to remove the tumour. Devastatingly, however, this is not the end of Jahzara's long battle.
However, due to a capacity in treatments, the NHS will only fund a first course of Proton Therapy for residents in the UK, and can only offer conventional radiotherapy, a 'much more aggressive form with higher risks of severe adverse effects'. Jahzara's specialist Oncologist has referred the family to a Proton Therapy treatment centre in Germany, but the family say they need to raise £100,000 for treatment costs, travel, accommodation and living costs.
