Go fund me jenna sorty8/12/2023 ![]() Stefan Van Gool from the IOZK clinic in Cologne where they are specialists in Immuno-Oncological Therapy. Her grit and determination in the face of real adversity is what keeps her loving family positive and thankful that she is currently still alive.ġ1th August 2021 Jeana is discharged from hospital.Īs a family we have been liaising with Dr. Its heart-lifting to see someone so sick take all of this on and remain so absolute about trying to kick this tumour out of the field. Her Oncology team confirmed that if she does, that the tumour may likely reduce, but that they won’t ever get it to go away.ĩth August 2021 Jeana restarted her Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy tablets– to date this seems to be going well, and is not causing too much disruption to her personality or her spirit. Jeana now has to attend her remaining 5 weeks of radiotherapy and continue with the chemotherapy in order to try and reduce the tumour/beat it back, as much as she can. It had only been 5 weeks since the surgeons had carried out their amazing job, and now Jeana’s unwanted tenant has returned. On the 6th August 2021 after having another CT & MRI scan it was confirmed that the tumour had re-grown in the surgical cavity this was something that our family were not prepared for and it hit us like a tidal wave. ![]() On the 2nd August 2021 Jeana started Radiotherapy & TMZ chemotherapy, on the 3rd August, at the Beatson Clinic, Glasgow - however TMZ was taken out of her treatment plan by her Oncologist as it was deemed to be causing her greater harm than good, and was disrupting her planned radiotherapy. Dr Canty had confirmed that he removed almost 100% of the tumour along with a small amount of the outliers that could be seen. Jeana had a very successful & lengthy surgery at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Glasgow on 2nd July, carried out by Dr Michael Canty & his excellent surgical team. She was rushed to Wishaw General Hospital and was looked after brilliantly by the nurses and doctors there, but never for a moment did it cross their, or our, minds that the source of her seizure would be a grade 4 glioblastoma typically known as brain cancer. This was one of the most frightening and anxious days of our families lives. The 23rd June 2021 was the day her partner, my brother in law Stephen came home early from work & found Jeana collapsed on the floor as she started to have a seizure. However, it is now Jeana (my big sister) who is in real need and we feel that it is our turn to look after her and give her the life she deserves, and can have if we can raise enough funds to pay for this pioneering and innovative treatment.įor someone whom has been active, fit and healthy her entire life, being diagnosed with GBM has come as a great shock but that doesn’t mean that she isn’t taking this in her stride and as she continues to work and turn up for radiotherapy every day, we have come to realise what a truly amazing person she is in the face of adversity. Jeana has a heart of pure gold and would give her all to anyone in need. She always looks on the sunny side and it is because of this loving & thoughtful persona that Jeana is regarded as the glue that holds our family & extended families together.Īll of her life Jeana has been looking out for and caring for others not only in her personal life but also in her professional role as a High School Maths Teacher and local swimming coach. Jeana is a fantastic mother, THE best auntie and godmother lol, sister and high school teacher, who has a fun loving & nurturing infectious personality. The kids and Jeana’s loving partner, Stephen want Jeana to be there for as many milestones as possible throughout their adult lives. Jeana is mum to three beautiful and amazing children who are now young adults – big sister Danni & twins Ryan and Liam. ![]() ![]() We believe the immunotherapy treatment in Cologne will increase her chances of doing this. We want to try and increase this greatly to give her a better chance at progression free survival over a longer period of time. Using the best options that we have on the NHS – surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy – Jeana has only a best chance of survival rate of 18 months. Our Sister, Daughter, Mother, Wife, Auntie, Fairy Godmother, Friend and Wonderful Teacher, Jeana Watt was diagnosed with a Glioblastoma Multiform brain tumour in June 2021 and needs urgent lifesaving treatment that is only available in Cologne, German.
