' Sir, I declare I have beat him! '

From the age of 5 weeks are at birth, newborn baby girl Vicky Forster has been diagnosed as having contracted acute leukemia, the disease is exploring out after baby gets pneumonia.

The blood test showed that the leukemia cells by Vicky was divided according to control dimension is and the doctor at the biệnh Hospital of St Bartholomew in London (uk) have given a survival rate for little Vicky is 60/40.

A course in intensive treatment after it was conducted-including chemotherapy procedures have made Vicky temporarily baldness-before saying that his disease was Vicky relieved.

By age seven, she always insisted Forster refused Vicky medication treatment of leukemia and it takes no less time to appease sweet delicious, the nurse can tell Vicky drink smoking after Stern says:

"Vicky listen to her, if you don't take your medicine, you will die. I have hurt my mother? If the injured parents more, then take the pill! " Along with promises of parents about a gift, girl Vicky has obediently medication.

Last week, 18 years after the first diagnosis, Vicky Forster knew that the research she has switched to a different form of cancer-Acute Myeloid Leukemia-and also thanks to the discovery of this disease that Vicky Forster received his doctorate at the Institute of cancer research Northern Newscatle University (uk).

Story WINS leukemia and Ph.d. of Vicky Forster are currently attracting the interest of the media and the masses. In a message on his blog, Vicky proudly asserted:

"Sir cancer. I declare that defeated him right since I was 8 and today, I received a Ph.d. in the field of cancer research."

That message has spread throughout the world and has received over 4000 times hits. Vicky overwhelmed by the warm greetings from the distant country in the world like Nigeria, the Philippines and China, her message itself has been translated into the languages of Spain and France.

But above all, Vicky Forster wants from his illness victory might bring some hope to the gay plight. Dr. young women share:

"When you suffer leukemia, you always think about it every day, but when the disease is increasingly falling gradually into oblivion, then you need to find a way to conquer it, then you can do anything you want. Leukemia is not the "ogre" in your life ".

Arduous journey to climb to the Summit of glory

Born and raised in Chelmsford, Essex (uk), however from the little Vicky has depressed when hearing someone say to drugs or his presses pill, Dr. young women today recalled:

"Since I was about 4 or 5 years old, I had dreams of growing up to become an astronaut. I like physics and I play the electronic items with my father, her father hoáy 2006 edit electric lamps and ringing the alarm or anti-theft anti-theft steel scaffolds in the garden of the House ".

While a patient at Bart, as an accidental destiny, Vicky has met with one of the hero's sister: Mrs. Helen Sharman, first British woman to fly into space.

And in the process of treatment, unlike the small patient consent to the visit of the medical doctors, conversely Vicky "strafe" physicians in. by countless questions aroused enthusiastic attention of Vicky to cancer treatments, and make her get by biomedical science at the University of Durham before getting the offer of local heritage fund-the Fund Patterson agreed to sponsor the JGW – the project of Dr. Vicky Forster.

As part of a research team led by Dr. James Allan and Professor Olaf Heidenreich, Vicky Forster undertook the study of a genetic mutation known as AML1-ETO. That is what is known as a merger, when two DNA fragments are mounted together.

The team really has to know that the AML1-ETO itself own was not sufficient to form the basis of leukemia but after 3 years of research, they discovered the secondary mutation had developed and interacted with AML1-ETO do arise leukemia.

"Most people have neither AML1-ETO know and understand about anything happening to them. But if the process of genetic mutation of strong performance and then they will then develop into leukemia, "Vicky Forster explained.

The first mission of the Vicky had prepared the cells used for research, injected the gene into cells and bring "Hamlet" them in a tank designed to mimic conditions such as maximum in the human body.

Vicky has archaic forget tired throughout the study within nine months, then my sister for the cells exposed to radiation to see if it has grown out of secondary DNA mutations that can lead to leukemia disease or not?

The team hope they can continue the work aimed at to how exploited his understanding for the AML1-ETO, which helps to reduce the recurrence rate in patients.

Just study science, Vicky Forster also don't forget to check out the health for yourself every year, but may be too by the risk of recurrence of the disease is very small – and the following year the disease rate is lower than the previous year.

Today, signs of leukemia that Vicky each face is a faint scars on her neck, scars which each device is a small catheter chemotherapy on blood drops each of you help facilitate the work of the treatment.

Vicky Forster recalls the day "dark" in her life: "I remember is like living in a deep dark room because his body temperature is too high. Leukemia was "shut" the immune system, so I had the infection.

The feeling that I will not forget my hand always had a pipe and from this pipe was flowing out of a fluid into my body, but because I was too sick so he syringes do I promised myself, that his pain is actually a horrible impression ".

Known surviving children rate from Leukemia in class 5 years has significantly increased from 65% to 90% – but the rate temporarily called live comfortably now account for only 10%.

In addition to scientific research, Vicky Forster also donating money to the charity for cancer patients. In September, 2012 coming here, Vicky has joined the Northern journey, it is a long running program aims to raise funds for leukemia and lymphoma research.

From a patient, Vicky won himself to rise to become a scientist, Vicky excitedly share: "I'm a scientist currently living with cancer but very little hazard rate.

Do a scientist not only laugh and complacent with the reputation and money because of the fact there will be more for you to choose from before embarks on science. To me, I just want to do something to bring a difference. "=
