Manchester woman, 39, who thought she just had a bad back desperate to get home from Vietnam after shock diagnosis
A family is desperately seeking help to get their youngest sister home from Vietnam for treatment at The Christie Hospital following a shock cancer diagnosis. Selena Danson, from south Manchester, began suffering with back pain in August 2022 which gradually got worse.
Her family have set up a GoFundMe page to raise awareness of Selena and with the hope to return her home. At the time of writing, the total amount donated is £8,853. “It’s hard for me to say this but my sister could end up dying over there, on her own,” Michelle said. Selena has already had one round of chemotherapy but sadly suffered a setback. She was admitted to hospital on January 1 with a fever and fatigue, and had to have a blood transfusion and is currently on IV antibiotics.
“Selena is amazing, she adopted a dog, she donates to charity. She is very black and white. She is an advocate for stopping cruelty against animals. She is a really decent person,” Michelle said. “We thought it was just a disc in her back causing the problem. She was still getting on her scooter and going to work. And then when that got too much she was paying for a taxi, and then her legs were swelling so much whilst she was working that she had to be taken to A&E and that's when she found out she had cervical cancer.
