Peter expressed the desire to come to Warkton one day, to meet all Trustees of BTMAT, with a view to reviewing what we have achieved together in the past, and to consider the next five years of collaboration. A lovely meeting it was. Peter cleared up a number of medical/administrative issues which were on Trustees’ minds.
He spoke also of a meeting he would attend in Cameroon in October, at which the proposal for a unified National treatment regime for Burkitt lymphoma in Cameroon would be raised. This would involve several agencies: Child cancer staff at the Children’s Hospital in Yaounde; the Cameroonian Ministry of Health; the French-African Paediatric Oncology Group; World Child Cancer; and of course BTMAT.
Peter Hesseling has certainly put us on the world stage as regards child cancer.
We are not ploughing a lone furrow; we are in partnership with many great people and respected organisations.
The Warkton meeting cemented our friendship with our friend Peter Hesseling!
