Evening everyone Just a short message from Chantelle to say that Keano has been transferred to Milton Keynes ward now, he is stable, not on oxygen but doctors still treating him for the chronic lung infection, pneumonia and still on a feeding tube. She is not sure when the doctors might discharge Keano and it wont be that soon but if it does happen she needs to be in Milton Keynes. She is asking if anyone knows of any accommodation that she could use whilst waiting for Keanos bone marrow transplant as Doctors have told her that he must be kept in quarantine to avoid any relapse. His immune system is still very low and can easily pick up infections from families with children, as we all know children in nursery & school pick up alot of infections ! Many thanks for all your prayers and support messages ! Love from Chantelle & Keano ------------ -------- To reply to this message, follow the link below: http://www.facebook .com/n/? inbox/readmessage. php&t=1099174442 638&aref= 31538340 +++++ REQUEST FOR SPONSORSHIP - PANKAJ PARBHOO This letter serves as a request to the general public for sponsorship in any way, shape or form for Pankaj Parbhoo. Pankaj, age 27, was recently diagnosed with ACUTE MYELOID LEUKEMIA. Those close to him are making a concerted effort to help raise the necessary funds to ensure that he is able to afford the appropriate treatment. This treatment includes six sessions of chemotherapy over the next six months. Each treatment lasts one week and costs approximately R30,000 (thirty thousand rand). On top of this, Pankaj has incurred hospital expenses over the past week as he landed up being admitted to hospital for a week to have treatment for an infection that was unforeseen. It is estimated that for the next 6 months he will require at least R50,000 per month to cover the chemo, blood transfusions and living expenses as well as any other hospital expenses that may arise. All proceeds will be fully accounted for and greatly appreciated by Pankaj and his family. Should you require any confirmation and if you are able to help, please contact his sister Bhakti Parbhoo on 011 210 780 or at home on 231042 after business hours. You may also contact Mr Giga on 65770 during business hours. Any assistance anyone could offer us would be greatly appreciated.
