Singer Faye Fantarrow was told in August that she has a rare brain tumour that cannot be cured in the UK, just a few months after signing to Eurythmics star Dave Stewart's label. A fundraising campaign for treatment in the US has reached £200,000 - but there is still more to go.
"I'm very optimistic, but it's also overwhelming. I'm looking forward to [beginning the treatment process] but it's daunting too as I've been having this conversation for so long now. My overriding emotion right now though is feeling grateful, because without the donations and all the support I've had, this initial stage wouldn't have been attainable."
"With this treatment, a specialist collects and makes a small change to your T-cells. After a few weeks, you have a drip containing these cells back into your bloodstream. The CAR T-cells then recognise and attack the cancer cells," the charity says on its website. "This will be the first gig since all this happened," she said."I think I feel well enough in myself now, and the cell collection I'm hoping will not be too intrusive.
"Faye is a brilliant young artist, a singer-songwriter in a class of her own," Stewart previously told Sky News."Unique writers like Faye come few and far between and I knew the minute I heard her voice she was extraordinary.
