Esme’s update
In November 2018, when she was just a year old, Esmé was diagnosed with Ependymoma II, a cancer based in the tissue of the nervous system.
After continuous bouts of sickness in the morning, an MRI confirmed the terrible news. Esmé was swiftly moved to Addenbrookes, where she had surgery and then began an intensive programme of chemotherapy.
It was during her hospital visits, that Esmé received one of our warmable teddies. According to Wendy, her mum, it put a huge smile on her face.
In January this year, Esmé had an MRI which shows no residual cancer, and no signs of reoccurrence. Although she still has a long way to go until she has an ‘all clear’, it was the best possible news for this courageous girl and her family in the new year.
