Serena is stable at the moment and on medication throughout the day.
The situation is getting very desperate. Her only chance is to go to America but it's about trying to get the money in time to get her there..

Help Save Serena - help needed now.. Time is running out
Time is running out for Serena. It has been about five weeks now since the initial story broke about the return of Serena's Neuroblastoma, which my beautiful daughter Serena was first diagnosed with about 18 months ago. She is currently receiving chemotherapy, but this is only to prolong her life, and to make her strong enough for pioneering treatment in America.
Serena is stable at the moment and on medication throughout the day.

What's that coming over the hill? is it a monster? is it a monster?... No It's Serena's little brother Kieran Souissi, Kieran is two and a half years old (but the size of a five year old!!) Isn't he handsome? (takes after his father..) Kieran loves and adores his big sister (apart from when she smacks him..) and would be lost without her.

Neuroblastoma, What is Neuroblastoma ? Neuroblastoma explained.
Neuroblastoma
Fewer than 100 children are diagnosed with neuroblastoma in the UK each year. Most children who get this cancer are younger than five years old.
Neuroblastoma is a cancer of specialised nerve cells, called neural crest cells. These cells are involved in the development of the nervous system and other tissues.
Neuroblastoma can occur anywhere in the body, but most often occurs in the adrenal gland in the abdomen (tummy). The adrenal glands are specialised glands which are found above the kidneys. They release hormones to maintain blood pressure, and enable us to respond to stress.
In some children, the neuroblastoma can occur in nerve tissue in the neck, chest, or around the spinal cord.

Neuroblastoma
Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid cancer in childhood and the most common cancer in infancy, with an annual incidence of about 650 new cases per year in the US.[1] Close to 50 percent of neuroblastoma cases occur in children younger than two years old.

Serena's Story
I have created this blog as I am a desperate father pleading for help to save my three-year-old daughter who is dying from a rare form of cancer.
Serena has been suffering from neuroblastoma - a tumour in the adrenal glands - for the past 18 months. She has spent most of her life in hospital undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy, but in January this year we were told Serena was in remission.
I have created this blog as I am a desperate father pleading for help to save my three-year-old daughter who is dying from a rare form of cancer.
Serena has been suffering from neuroblastoma - a tumour in the adrenal glands - for the past 18 months. She has spent most of her life in hospital undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy, but in January this year we were told Serena was in remission.
Serena spent the past few months at home living like a normal little girl for
the first time. But a few weeks ago she was readmitted to hospital, where doctors told us the cancer had returned.
If she does not have the treatment she may only have weeks or months to live.
Please, Please help us save our baby.. You can see her story in two local newspapers online.Serena's
