    Just an update concerning Jody's treatment programme. As many of you already know through Jody, the family and social media, her last round of chemo was not as successful as expected.This means that in order for her to undergo the cell transplant she requires, she needs to try non-funded drugs first in the hope they are more effective than the three different chemo types she has already had.

    These drugs come at a huge cost.

    As an alternative, she has been accepted for immediate start onto a funded clinical trial comparing two modern therapy drugs.How well these drugs work will determine when she can have her stem cell transplant and radiation treatment.

    She still has a long way to go.

    Jody and the family continue to be humbled by the ongoing practical and moral support as well as the love that comes from near and far. Words cannot express their gratitude.
