Daughter’s diagnosis big blow

The family of Noi Jemmott is facing a financial nightmare after a diagnosis of acute leukaemia and a treatment path which entailed her being transported by air ambulance yesterday to Colombia.

The 17-year-old building and civil engineering student of the Barbados Community College had complained of a slight headache and the family got the shocking results on Friday.

Noi, and her mother Cathy-Ann Allman, left the island yesterday and other members of the family are trying to raise funds.
