    Thank you all soooo much. Daniel will have 8 teeth extracted on 15 October. They are removing the impacted wisdom teeth and the teeth around them to prevent any infection during his transplant. We are hoping he doesn’t need a platelet transfusion because he has built up some antibodies to platelets. So when that is done we will have a much idea of when we will be going to Italy.

    Thank you all again for your donations and kind words. We couldn’t have done this without your amazing support. I will keep you up to date.

  • Dental Extraction

      20 June 2024

    Hi everyone, Daniel is just waiting for his impacted wisdom teeth to be removed before the transplant. They need to be removed first to make sure they don’t get infected after transplant.

    It has been a bit frustrating waiting for that to be done because his transplant needs to happen this year.

  • Waiting for teeth to be extracted

      2 June 2024

    Daniel now has impacted wisdom teeth that have to be removed before any transplant is done. We are hoping they will be removed very soon because his transplant has to happen within the next 6months. He can’t have a transplant while he has impacted wisdom teeth due to the risk of infection.

  • Possible changes of location

      22 April 2024

    So Daniel will most likely be having his transplant in Milan Italy.

    We have been speaking to 2 Italian specialists at SAN Raffaele hospital about gene therapy which uses his own bone marrow and is the treated before being transplanted. The problem with gene therapy is it cost $2 million plus the transplant cost. The Italian specialist and German specialist are having a meeting on Wednesday 24th April regarding his treatment.

    We would love to do gene therapy so we are trying to get as much help as we can.

    If anyone has any ideas please feel free to contact us.

    Thank you to everyone for their support.
