A
His parents were told to take him home to die after his rare leukaemia(白血病) returned a THIRD time. “They said there was nothing more they could do and gave him a few weeks to live,” says his mum Claire, 26. “But that was six months ago and just look at him now! No one can explain why the cancer has suddenly disappeared. The surgeon who phoned me with the news said he couldn’t believe it. I just burst into tears.”
Jordan, now three, began his amazing battle with leukaemia at just ten weeks old. Claire and her husband Gerry, 30, were told their son only had a 10% chance of survival. Jordan put up with six months of chemotherapy(化疗) despite being the youngest patient with cancer that doctors at Yorkhill Children’s Hospital in Glasgow had ever treated. And after he had a bone marrow transplant (骨髓移植) in April, 2006 it seemed that the cancer was gone. “He started nursery and we really thought we had put this behind us,” says Claire. But in February the following year Jordan fell ill again and was saved by more chemotherapy and a transplant of matching stem cells(干细胞) from a baby in Barcelona. His family sighed with relief again. But in November 2008 blood tests showed it was back. “The doctors told is to enjoy what few weeks he had left,” says Claire.
But just before Christmas after further blood test, came the phone call Claire and Gerry had never dared dream of. Jordan had another test in February which was also clear. Ken Campbell, of the leukaemia Research Fund, told us: “There is no medical explanation for his recovery.”
