“Your child has cancer” are 4 words that no parent ever wants to hear, but sadly this is what we heard in November 2017. Our daughter had leukaemia at just 2 years old. Being 38 weeks pregnant and having lost a boyfriend to leukemia, I literally felt the weight of the world on my shoulder. Would my daughter also die a slow, painful death?

“The cancer is back”, Dr Calvagna told us in February of 2013. We knew without him needing to spell it out what it meant. This was the fourth time that cancer had reared up its head and this time there was nothing more that could be done to save Jacob. Devastating? It doesn’t even start explaining the engulfing pain me and my husband were experiencing.

oday 30th January I am celebrating my sixteenth birthday and on this special day I would like to deeply thank Dr.Calvagna first and foremost, as well as the other doctors and the nursing staff of Rainbow Ward for their patience and continuous support when I mostly needed it. They encouraged me to fight my battle against cancer. I would also like to thank Dr. Eric Farrugia and or Dr. Nick Refalo

Now, that I am getting closer and closer to finishing my treatment, I felt I had to send you a small thank you message concerning you, Dr. Victor Calvagna and the other nurses and doctors in Rainbow Ward. Honestly when I remember the first time entering the Ward, I still hadn’t met you guys as it was very early but I felt something which immediately made me feel at home. Something which you always showed me during my battle. Something which gave me hope and courage in facing the situation. You had my back from day 1 and you can’t even imagine what a difference it made for me.

When I was asked to accompany a relative who was going for treatment at the Royal Marsden Hospital,I was very anxious. I am the last person to be there where people are suffering and I usually break down myself.

We have just returned from Oxford in the UK where we have spent around three weeks with our son Jerome, at Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre, from where he underwent a very sensitive surgery so as to remove a tumour from his limb.

Early last February, I've been diagnosed with a brain aneurysm which needed to be treated in UK hospital. My concerns were not only about my health matter but also about accomadation for my family member who offered to accompany all throughout my stay in UK.

In 2008 we were blessed with the arrival of a second child. Soon after his birth we realised that our kid developed problems in his eyes. After several failed attemptsto resolve his three conditions here in Malta,which included a handful of surgeries and other related treatment, we decided to search for specialised help in the UK.

I was looking forward for the year 2012 as i was going to have my sweet 16 and it was my last year at the secondary school. It was the 1st of January when my mother passed away peacefully after fighting cancer for 11 years.

One Year ago, my son expressed the wish to have white hair – Thanks to Frozen, the movie. By the end of March that is what he had… White hair… The Price? His health!! 2014 has been a Roller coaster ride.
