Brave little Maddy gets gift of life from donor in Europe to help her beat cancer
Two-year-old Maddy Chesworth from Randburg has found a bone marrow donor who can provide her with a life-saving stem cell transplant.
The family thanked all South Africans who became stem cell donors through DKMS Africa - the German Bone Marrow Donor Centre."Cheese!" shouts cheery two-year-old Maddy Chesworth as she spots the YOU team's camera as we enter her family's Randburg home. Maddy underwent chemotherapy, and the cancer went into remission, but in June this year, doctors found cancer in her spine.“We were shocked that she relapsed," says Alessandra, a restaurateur.
Her parents say they felt responsible for Maddy's diagnosis, but doctors have assured them that her cancer is not hereditary.Maddy’s relationship with her brothers is very playful and they love their little sister.
