So sad.........

I want to dedicate this page to Dolly, who I wrote about last summer. A courageous, brave,  fun loving young girl has lost her life to cancer a few days ago.

Dolly was first diagnosed  with junior Sarcoma in her right elbow at the age of 6 years old. She went through chemo three times between the ages of 6-17 years. She suffered through 14 operations to try and save her arm, but eventually had it amputated a couple of years ago, when chemo did not help. By the time she was 19 years old,  after a routine scan she was told that she had Metastasis in her lungs. The doctors advised her to have a fourth chemo session. They told her that the chemo should kill her before the cancer would, but it was the only thing they could offer and that there was no cure. They informed her that if she did not have chemo she would only live another couple of months. Dolly started her fourth chemo round, but she got so sick, lost weight, all her hair and decided not to continue. After nearly  14 years of on and off of Chemo, which had not helped and being told that nobody could help her cure the cancer or prolong her life, she turned her back on conventional medicine.

This is when Dolly decided to try Cannabis oil instead.  For the last 18 months, she lived a happy life and even though she only had one arm, she made the most of her borrowed time.  During the time she took Cannabis oil, she was pain free and as care free as she had ever been.

Even though she lived nearly a year and half longer than the doctors predicted, she started the Cannabis oil too late, it prolonged her life, but did not save her life.

A tragic end, the last 4 weeks, she suffered terribly, she struggled to breathe and was in terrible pain. The last 2 weeks, she said that every time she fell asleep, a man was trying to take her away and she did not want to go. A brave little fighter until the end.

But, her name will live on. The Calvia Lions in Mallorca, where she lived, are going to start 'The Dolly Sanchez Cancer Fund', which will be a permanent fund to help finance 'poor' people with cancer to buy things like decent wigs, semi-permanent eyebrows etc.  Dolly would have been so happy to know that in her name, help will hopefully be offered to other youngsters suffering from cancer.
