A devastated mum is in a race against time to get her 13-year-old son home from the USA after he was deemed “too sick” to proceed with the £280k treatment she hoped would blitz his deadly golf-ball sized brain tumour and save his life.
Louise Fox, 47, has led her family’s fight to save her adorable son, dubbed ‘Gorgeous George’ – raising more than £400K for him to join a CAR T-cell clinical trial, a form of immunotherapy with a 30 to 40 per cent success rate for lasting remission in Los Angeles.
But, she and her husband, Matt, 51, who owns a building company, now face an avalanche of medical bills after George, who was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) in May last year, suffered multiple seizures on the 11 hour flight to the USA and was no longer well enough to receive the treatment.
