A TECHNICIAN with the South East Coast Ambulance Service who was forced to put his life on hold while his daughter fought cancer, can now looked forward to the future.

Chris Treves, from Medway, and his wife Rita, have been told that three-year-old Molly is now in remission from a rare form of cancer.

Molly was diagnosed with neurobalstoma stage four in August 2005. It is an aggressive form of cancer which attacks the adrenal glad on top of the kidneys and the nervous system.

Doctors at Great Ormond Street Hospital, who treated Molly, gave her just a 20 per cent chance of survival.

However, 18 months later after surgery and intensive chemotherapy and radiotherapy, Chris and Rita were told recently by doctors that the tumour has been successfully removed.

Chris said: "It has been a difficult time during these last few years but the support we have had from family, friends and colleagues at work has been amazing.

"We’ve had our lives on hold living from appointment to appointment, now we feel we can start enjoying our life together as a family."

The support from everyone has meant the family can now fulfil a dream to take Molly and her brother, Sam, 10, to Disney World.

The family also had a great deal of assistance from child cancer charity CLIC Sargent, which even made Molly the face of one of its campaigns to simplify the disability allowance claims process for children diagnosed with cancer called Red Tape.
