This is exactly how it is at the moment. Ismails Cancer has been reduced from 2.2cm down to 1.6cm.



He needs to have a further 16 injections over the course of the next month, but lighter than before,because the other ones knocked him about.



This a months course. The goverment will pay part of the cost towards 10 of them, we pay the balance, and for the last 6 in full. 500 lira in total.



We also have to pay for the ultrasound 700 lira.



Tomorrow Ismail needs to be flown to Ankara, he needs 2 seats on the plane, he has to lie down attached to a drip. His Father will be with him. Flight Costs 600 lira.



I have sent that money over to day, I may need to gets funds soon from friends of Ismail. ( I will take my chances, Ismail is more important than regulations) where theres a will theres a way.



Doctors say the next month is crucial.



We cannot believe what this child is going through. Thank You to all of you who have helped so far.

You are welcome Billyboy 1, look forward to seeing you in warmer times. and thank you Lilly, don't worry all the people that matter know the full story. It was just a few of the Richard Craniums, and to be honest they are not worth worrying about.



Our only concern is Ismail and his familys well being. They deserve a break.



Happy New Year and Kind Regards to you all. xx

Outstanding commitment from all those who have helped this little lad. What an effort.



But it makes you wonder why the Turkish government or forces medical service haven't done anything to help their young countryman? Denktas and now Eroglu both had their treatments sorted immediately. But it seems that Turkish children don't count and are largely left to expats to help out. Unless I'm missing something.

Hi Lee Good news about Ismail. just hope everything works out for him. I have had permission from the owner of a bike for Ismail. I have now collected it. It needs some work doing on it. But it is a super bike. Just right for him when he gets home. Children are very quick at picking up things. Riding a bike will be no problem to him. Just let me know when you want to pick it up. I can get it to punjab for you any Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, say the word and it will be there for you. Happy New Year to both you and Jan, have a good one. Val KLDS

Thank You Val. one of the very first things Ismail said he wanted to do when we first met him, was to ride a bike.



Let's all keep our fingers crosssed that this will be a dream come true for him.



Happy New Year to you and the troupe,, thank you for your help and support, glad to hear you had a wonderful time in Turkey.
