The ultimate wedding surprise
TEARS were flowing in Israel overnight when Libby Nagel, who was diagnosed with cancer at the age of three, surprised everyone and walked down the aisle as a flower girl at her cousins’s wedding in Jerusalem.
TEARS were flowing in Israel overnight when Libby Nagel, who was diagnosed with cancer at the age of three, surprised everyone and walked down the aisle as a flower girl at her cousins’s wedding in Jerusalem.
Five-year-old Libby, who was first diagnosed with cancer in 2015, has undergone intensive chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy, a bone marrow transplant and immunotherapy in America for the last 14 months.
Doctors thought Libby, who was born in Sydney, beat the disease but then they found a tumour in the front part of her brain.
“Three weeks ago her family called and said that doctors said it was too hard but she wanted to be a flower girl at the wedding,” former Sydney-sider Dovi Meyer told The AJN.
“I volunteer with Jet 911, which is a multi-national volunteer based organisation of doctors and physicians that support medical transfers,” Meyer said.
“I arranged, in conjunction with hospitals here in Israel, accomodation, flights and treatment for the four days while she was in Israel.”
Only 40 children in the world are diagnosed with Libby’s form of cancer.
