Drug hopes for Madison
YOUNG cancer sufferer Madison Parton has started a potentially life-saving drug trial.
The Sandford Hill schoolgirl, aged four, has a rare form of childhood cancer and is classed as terminally-ill.
-
BRAVE GIRL: Madison Parton.
Her family hope the six-month trial of a new drug at Birmingham Children's Hospital will give her a new lease of life.
The trial began yesterday and will see the un-named drug administered to her in hospital over a 72-hour period.
Madison will then return for another dose 21 days later.
Her mum, 34-year-old Annette, said: "I am a little nervous about things, but I know this is a chance for Madison."

“That big "C" is such a nasty word,even more so when it affects people so young.
My mum had breast cancer a few years back and she's pulled through , its getting beaten more and more these days.
Hope all goes well,and best wishes
