Our daughter Emmie was diagnosed with a Malignant Rhabdoid Tumour in September
2019. MRT is an extremely rare and aggressive form of cancer, which is difficult
to treat and she was given a poor prognosis. Emmie underwent 8 rounds of
chemotherapy, a radical nephrectomy, stem cell harvest and aspiration, high dose
chemotherapy, 8 days on a ventilator in PICU and a further 12 months of
maintenance chemotherapy. However she is now in remission and loves singing,
dancing, reading and playing with her big brother and baby sister. 'Emmie's
Books' raises money to buy books for little warriors in hospitals across the UK
- and their families. As teachers, we know the importance of escapism through
books, as well as the importance of keeping our minds busy as oncology parents.
