Cancer sufferer returns from treatment in us to find £60,000 house makeover

A kind-hearted community clubbed together to surprise a young cancer sufferer who returned home from life-saving treatment in America to find her home had been given a £60,000 makeover. Brave Emily Cassidy, three, had an operation remove an aggressive cancerous tumour behind her eye in March but doctors discovered soon after the disease had spread. The youngster went through a gruelling course of chemotherapy and was granted funding on the NHS to travel to the USA in June for vital Proton Beam Therapy. The treatment uses beams of protons to kill cancerous cells with much less damage to surrounding tissue, easing the gruelling side effects of conventional therapy.
