This weblog is specially dedicated to my very good friend, Cynthia and her daughter Charmaine, who is my god daughter.

Our feisty princess Charmaine has been diagnosed with neuroblastoma. She is currently in the 4th stage and fighting hard. We are greatly saddened that such a sweet and cheerful little girl has to undergo so much pain and suffering at such a young age.

I'm using this blog as a platform for anyone who wishes to share your stories and experience of having somebody close to you suffering from cancer. Please share your personal experience with neuroblastoma if possible. I would also appreciate if you could leave comments of encouragement for Cynthia and Charmaine. Do sign off with your name or a pseudonym for us to remember you by. =)

To know more about Charmaine and family, please go to http://ourfeistyprincess.com/

In order for us to help Charmaine fight this cancer battle, we require our friends and people who know us to help raise funds for the substantial medical expenses and the expensive treatments.

We would also appreciate if you wish to make alternative contribution arrangements.

If you are keen in donating or helping Cynthia and her family in any way, you may:
- Contact the feisty team at ourfeistyprincess@gmail.com.
- Click here for more information on
direct funds donation.

At the very most if you are unable to contribute at this point of time, please take a little time to click on the nuffnang ads above. All proceeds would go into Charmaine's funds.

If you are new to this site, kindly click here to gain a better understanding of the whole situation before proceeding.

Thank you very much.

With warmest regards,
Jolene

Doubling Charmaine's chances of survival

There is an alternative form of treatment for neuroblastoma offered in the US which could double Charmaine's chances of survival. The drug used in the treatment is known as 3F8, which is produced by the white blood cells of mice.

These antibodies are given intravenously to a patient and will circulate in the bloodstream till they attach to a neuroblastoma cell. The patient's own immune system will then attack and kill the neuroblastoma cell.

This treatment has been used in more than 500 patients since 1987.

From the Feisty Team

Tuesday, June 16, 2009

Many thanks to the angels that fly and stopped by to pray for Charmaine. No matter if it is monetary, faith, or words of encouragement, they are dear to us, and it means alot to Cynthia.

With the help of media, the last two days have given us the glimpse of hope, that we have been searching for.

Charmaine will be in the surgery this Thursday, wheeled in at 9am (if that does not change still) to remove that monster. After which from the recovery, that is the best window for her treatment.

There are requests to visit Charmaine, and we would prefer it to be after July, where a reasonable amount of time is given for her to recover. Why not before some might ask. Jase jase and Charmaine are very close. We are trying to have them spending more time with each other as much as possible. Hope you all understand.

I think I sound a little incoherent right now, and if we do not get back to the emails queries as fast as we wanted, please hang on, or re-email us again. Be sure that it is definitely not that we had overlooked, but under-staffed.

A busy period for all of us, and yeap, we shall be retiring in bed soon. =)

Thanks to all angels!!!

Love,
Charlene, Jolene, Josse.

Kelvin said...

So sorry that i can only help with clicking the ads. Hope Charmaine can get well soon:)

I'm sure with God's grace, her surgery will be a successful one.

Maybe you guys can set up a Paypal account so it's easier to transfer funds over whenever possible?

I could only transfer that much over the ATM machine but I would like to do more via my Paypal.

Jolene said...

Hi Mike, Charlene here.
Paypal can be set up, but as it was done in a personal email (we did not have this current one then) we decided to provide only by email. Please send me your contacts.

Also, we are tracking our donors so that we can inform them, once this wave of fund raising tides down.

Again, many thanks to all the angels keeping us busy at this point in time!

To the Feisty Team,

I believe in the bread, wine and anointing oil. It has worked many times for a lot of people and for my own family. I hope someone can apply that to Charmaine every single day, as often as any of you have the chance to. I would say, as desperate as you can be.

And believe that Jesus has finished the work at the cross, and we are here to accept it, receive and rejoice over the unmerited and undeserved blessings called grace.

Although I can only help by clicking the ads at the moment but I trust in HIS greater miracle, not only to cover the medical funds, not only for a great recovery, but much more, as big as we want it to be.

Btw, Charmaine looks so similar to my own 4 year old :-)

God Bless

Don't lose faith - God will answer your prayers. Ask not for what you want, but for Him to show you the way.

I have prayed for your princess.

Zhihui said...

You can do it Charmaine! i will pray for you. Tomorrow will be a better day and get well soon!

Hi Chloe, Charlene here.

All thanks to the angels out there, our fundraising has increased tremendously! Over the past 2 days, we have been kept very busy and if I am not wrong, it has a donation of around 40K in addition to our pool. So right now, we are hovering around 70-80K (due to some cheques pending). Together with all savings that Cyn has, we are around 20% mark of the 500K =D

400K might seem a little too much still but well, before all these angels come upon Char's lives, we haven even dared to think of 100K =)

Many many thanks to all and yes, we still owe alot of emails.

For those who like to look into our account books, please feel free to email to us.

Hi, I found out about little Charmaine from my schools bake sale. I'm baking some special stuff and hope my little contribution helps you in some way. It really breaks my heart to see this innocent angel going through so much pain. I pray for a miraculous recovery and hope your lives will be blessed. Cynthia...please hold on. I admire your spirit and strength...I can see where little Charmaine gets her feistiness from.
