A BOY of nine is cancer free after a revolutionary transplant using umbilical cord stem cells.
Medics said the op was Jenson Wright’s only hope when leukaemia returned a second time.
The cells, which had been stored frozen in Texas, began to kill the disease within five days.
Two years on, and Jenson is now fully recovered.
The brave youngster was first diagnosed with lymphoma and leukaemia in November 2013 when he was just four-years-old.
Thrilled mum Carolyn, 46, of Penketh, Cheshire, said: “The early stages of the treatment were quite hard to comprehend, and quite difficult for us emotionally.
“Without the transplant we would be in a completely different situation – that saved him.
“We’ll never know who the donor was, but their donation has given life to someone else.”
