No one could have done more, ” she said.
“The team at Tabin provided round-the-clock intensive support and successfully brought her back to good health and egg cell production on several occasions, ” she said.“But we knew that she was starting to suffer significant pain from the growing pressure of the tumours into the bladder, ” he added.
