A north-east singer with terminal cancer who has been defying her diagnoses could be given a life-saving organ donation from her mother.
When Jenna Cameron was 10, she was given just four weeks to live after doctors at Royal Aberdeen Children’s Hospital found she had the rare condition hepatocellular carcinoma.
But her fortunes changed when surgeons removed three-quarters of her liver, allowing her to continue living her life.
Two years ago, the mother-of-two was told the cancer had returned and was terminal, but she was thrown a lifeline with eligibility for a live donor transplant.
This would allow her liver to be removed and replaced with up to half of a donor’s organ, with both involved continuing to live normal lives.
And initial tests have shown her mum, 51-year-old Susan Evans, could prove suitable for the procedure.
Ms Evans told The Sunday Post: “This is my chance to save my daughter’s life.
“I have had my life, but she is only 30. She deserves to see her daughters grow and to become a grandma herself in the future.
“If necessary my family could manage without me, but Jenna’s babies need her.”
Ms Cameron said: “I have to keep going because I have two babies to think of.
“I couldn’t be more grateful to my mum or more proud of her.
“This transplant could finally be the beginning of a whole new life.”
