Girl, 13, with terminal cancer saved by cutting-edge world-first treatment

A GIRL with terminal cancer has been saved by a world-first treatment.

Alyssa, 13, was diagnosed with leukaemia in 2021 — but after chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant her cancer came back.

Cutting-edge treatment has helped Alyssa, 13, into remisson

Now mum Kiona, the cousin of fashion guru Gok Wan, said they are “on cloud nine”; as Alyssa is in remission, thanks to treatment at London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital in May.

Doctors gave her a ­cutting-edge treatment made of white blood cells in a lab using gene editing.

Kiona said: “Hopefully this can prove the research works.”;

Gok Wan, 48, raised nearly £54,000 for Young Lives vs Cancer last year by shaving his head live on This Morning.
